AI Rust coach: you write the code, it runs cargo test and clippy, then reviews like a PR.
An AI chat explains Rust well. What it cannot do is everything around the explanation: it does not remember what you got wrong three lessons ago, nothing holds your code to a test suite, and it writes the fix the moment you ask for it. You end up reading Rust instead of writing it.
The coach’s replies come from Claude, by Anthropic. Everything around them is Rustcoach: a
sandbox that compiles your code and runs real cargo test and clippy, a syllabus per module
with mastery per topic, notes on you that carry from lesson to lesson, spaced review cards, and
a coach that will not write your solution, even when you ask.
It is built for developers coming from Python, JavaScript or Java. Complete beginners are welcome too: the coach starts further back and goes slower.
Buy it like a book. There is no subscription: you buy credits once and they never expire. A typical lesson uses about one credit.
| Price | Credits | |
|---|---|---|
| Free start | $0 | No card needed |
| The Course | $49 once | 50, a typical learner through one full module |
| Top-up | $10 or $25 | 10 for $10; 30 for $25 once you own the Course |
Not sure where to start? The free Rust skills test takes about ten minutes, needs no account, and ends with your level and the module that fits you best.
Rustcoach now has a free, public Rust skills test. Thirty questions in about ten minutes, no account, every code question run through the real compiler, and a report with your level and the module to take next.
Rustcoach is no longer one syllabus. Core Rust now sits next to four deep-dive modules, Async & Tokio, Macros, Concurrency & Atomics and Advanced Types & Traits, each with its own syllabus, progress and review cards.
Rustcoach's editor now explains rustc errors and Clippy lints in place, explains any selection on request, and adds a scratch file and an optional stretch challenge. The fix still stays yours.
Rustcoach lessons now stop every few explanations for a quick check, signed-off topics come back as review cards at 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, and mastery tracks what actually stuck.
