Ask HN: Ideas for Rust projects?

[guiders]

Rust seems pretty neat in many ways, and I've been going through the Rust Book on the Rust Documentation Website, but I can't think of any projects to do with Rust (especially ones that are novel, and that others could really benefit from). Does anyone have any ideas for Rust projects to complete?

Check out the tasks on Rosetta Code (rosettacode.org). That's a good way to get started with any new language, and you may find that one of the tasks inspires you to do something more complex.

Not exactly low level programming, but you can try the Matasano crypto challenge: http://cryptopals.com/

A binding to the CUPS server, lack of printing capabilities surprised me
