        <h1>About Rust Jungle</h1>

        <p>
            Rust Jungle is based on the awesome Tour of Rust and is built with the high-performance JS
            framework SvelteKit.

        <p>
            Rust has a steep learning curve and for some people this might be the reason to look for an
            alternative.<br />In my experience, once you've learned Rust, you will love it. Others share
            my experience, otherwise it wouldn't be the

            The goal of Rust Jungle is to give you an easy start with the Rust programming language with
            short but useful lessons, separated into stages.<br />And you are not alone in the Rust
            Jungle! <ExternalLink href="https://www.rustacean.net">Ferris the crab</ExternalLink> will be with
            you!

        <h2>Structure of Rust Jungle</h2>
        <p>
            Rust Jungle is separated into stages and every stage has multiple lessons. A lesson consists
            of a small portion of text with an optional running code example and optional further
            information.
        </p>
        <p>The text just uses 2 kinds of highlighting:</p>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <code>Code blocks</code> - Rust syntax elements have a dark background and a white color.
            </li>
            <li>
                <i>Special words</i> - special words or phrases are highlighted with an italic font.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
            Every stage starts with an introduction which covers all following lessons from that stage in
            short. It ends with a short summary of that stage.<br />You can easily ifentify summaries by
            watching out for a happy Ferris.
        </p>

        <p>Every stage has a maximum of 20 lessons.</p>
