Rust’s documentation is about to drastically improve
Here's my suggestion that I strongly believe could help Rust's (or any platform's for that matter) adoption:There should be a list of somewhat larger projects (similar to the sample apps for Cocoa https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/navigation/index.htm...) maintained by people who actually understand the language. For me, and I imagine a lot of other people, the hardest part about learning a new language/platform is getting from the stage where I understand the syntax and APIs to getting somewhat proficient with it and being able to make informed decisions about how things should be done in that language.A lot of times, when I look at some open source projects to learn from, I'm left with the impression that the author might not have really understood what s/he's doing and that really increases my frustration with the platform. A list of canonical projects would prevent this.I'm aware of Servo but I feel that Servo is a.) too large of a project for a Rust n00b to learn from b.) it's not always up to date WRT to the language version and the best practices.Alternatively, this could also be a list of 3rd party projects blessed by the Rust people as good projects to learn from.While it might seem like a waste of time, I feel like this would e.g. reduce the number of people needing help on IRC or the mailing list so it might actually save time.
