The best way to learn is to try things out. With embedded coding environments this has never been easier: 

print("This code will run on a container somewhere and return here!")

You can edit the code, and it will still run, feel free to experiment:

print("This code will run on a container somewhere and here!")

This works across programming languages and tools, no need for setting up anything locally until you feel confident.

fn main() {
  println!("Whats up people?");
}

This allows to tailor the test environment to showcase a specific thing. 

fn main(){
    let mut console_high_score = 8999;
    {   // I borrow the console for this block
        let y = &mut console_high_score;
        // I'm ruining the high score here by performing an action (mutation)
        *y += 2;
    }  // At the end of this block, I return it to Louis
    println!("console_high_score is now {}", console_high_score);
}

This is ideal to tinker, try things out, and learn from mistakes.
