8-puzzle in rust

The article details a personal project solving the classic 8-puzzle problem in the Rust programming language. The author implemented the A* search algorithm with a Manhattan distance heuristic and a breadth-first search variant. They share their learning experience, praising Rust's strong typing and pattern matching while discussing challenges with ownership, the standard library, and their use of the `clone()` method. The post includes code snippets and reflections on using a pre-release version of Rust.
