I had a whole lot of fun with the Typeracer post I made showing how the program itself had changed throughout its lifetime. What I didn’t mention (although is fairly obvious if you look at the code) is that Typeracer was my first real exposure to Rust. I went through a bit of the rust book and wrote a tiny compression tool that did a sort of run length encoding algorithm, but both of them were super simple and I really wanted something I could work on for longer to understand the language.
