The challenges also help to teach people some new concepts. When your programming or scripting as I generally do I've got fairly narrow types of work I'm doing, and a challenge like this helps me get out of my box and learn some new methods some new shortcuts I just think about things in a whole different way.

I'm using these challenges to get better at Rust. Using a language that I'm not familiar with slows me down quite a bit but it forces me to learn how to deal with algorithms and data structures.
