It's gonna be a web app for playing the game Rummy online, with friends or enemies, I don't care.

Because I took a long break from coding to "find myself" or whatever, and when it came time to look for jobs I realized I needed to get back into the game. So I decided to make something pointless.

Rust is a cool language and I want to learn it. I can see why people love it so much that it is named the favorite language of developers year after year. Also these days with the advent of WebAssembly, it can be run on the frontend and on the backend.

Yes, from an engineering perspective it would have made a lot more sense to write the game logic in JS and use the same logic on the the frontend and backend that way, but I didn't want to do that. I wanted to use Rust.
