[Media] I made Rust coding problems where you implement things like a Redis server (TCP + RESP) — would you try this?

I’ve been building a small platform with systems-style coding problems, and I’ve been focusing a lot on Rust as a target language.
One of the problems is implementing a mini Redis server in Rust:
- accepts real TCP connections
- parses the RESP protocol
- supports commands like
PING,SET,GET, etc.
So instead of just writing a function, you’re dealing with:
- networking
- state management
- parsing
- and Rust-specific challenges (ownership, borrowing, etc.)
The idea is to make problems that feel closer to building real systems rather than just solving algorithm questions.
I’m curious what people here think:
- would you find this kind of problem useful or fun?
- anything you’d want to see in a problem like this?
