Could you build this?
Partial The quest UI, lessons, and progress tracking are standard web work. Running real Rust code in the browser is the hard piece, since it needs a Rust interpreter or compiled-to-WASM toolchain.
What it would actually take: Frontend in a web framework with a code editor (e.g., Monaco) and a test runner for each quest. The hard piece is executing Rust in the browser: either compile rustc or a subset interpreter to WASM, or use a sandboxed server-side playground. Doing it well needs compiler or WASM engineering and careful sandboxing, plus curated exercises written by people who know Rust pedagogy.
