Today marks Day 1 of my 42-day challenge to learn Rust—with a twist. I’m not approaching this as a blank-slate beginner. I’m bringing along years of C# experience, mental muscle memory from countless LINQ expressions, async/await workflows, and enough IEnumerables to make your head spin.

But now? I’m learning a language that doesn’t have a garbage collector, doesn’t throw exceptions the same way, and thinks null is a bad idea.
