🦀 The Land of Rust – from an idea to a complete platform

Months ago, I started writing a Rust book for my own children. No prior programming experience assumed. Just a story: a space crab named Ferris crashes his spaceship and has to learn Rust to fix it.

Today, that book has grown into something much bigger.

✨ What exists now

• 20 chapters (Persian & English, beginner to advanced)
• Interactive demo in 5 languages
• Full illustrations (prompts ready, looking for an artist)
• Two mdBook repositories (one per language)
• Sponsorship call open (essential: illustrations + translations, ambitious: AI tutor + WASM runner)

🎮 Try it yourself

🙏 Why I’m sharing this here

Dev.to has always been a place where makers share their work and get honest feedback. I’m at a point where I can’t do everything alone anymore.

If you believe in open‑source education, please:

• ⭐ Star the repos
• 🐛 Open an issue if you find a mistake
• 🌍 Help translate into your language
• 💰 Sponsor the project (even $5 helps)
• 📢 Share with one person who might use it

Thank you for reading. Ferris thanks you too. 🦀
