Needs more smart pointers exercises
Personally I found the smart pointer topic hardest than others to absorb. I think if I had more exercises, I would understand the concepts quickly. It would be nice if we have exercices covering Box, Rc, RefCell and their asyncronous counterpart.
The current Box exercise is too easy. It's just a copy paste from the book's example.
I added a Rc exercise in #1069
The exercise hint reads, “This is a straightforward exercise to use…” and links to a chapter in the book. Until this section, Rustlings was an alternative to the book, and we’ve been referring to docs. I am infuriated.

This is not true, Rustlings is meant to work well alongside the book. Tons of exercises link to specific book chapters, there's even an index (exercises/README.md) mapping exercise groups to sections of the book.
I tell you I’m currently going through the exercises, and this is the first time I’ve been forced over to the book. I tell you I am currently having this experience and you answer, “This is not true.”
Please be as interested in curating the learning resource hosted at this repo as you seem to be in curating this repo. That was a rude thing to find on top of my inbox.
