Wrong source link in the exercise Reverse String

I have started working on the Rust track and noticed that in the exercise Reverse String there is a wrong link at the bottom of the page. See below

Specifically, the link refers to JavaScript and not Rust.

See code reference here:

github.com

exercism/rust/blob/0b8e1942df6d34fe9a2673754c561544549eb32e/exercises/practice/reverse-string/.meta/config.json#L37


      
              ],
              "test": [
                "tests/reverse-string.rs"
              ],
              "example": [
                ".meta/example.rs"
              ]
            },
            "blurb": "Reverse a given string.",
            "source": "Introductory challenge to reverse an input string",
            "source_url": "https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-reverse-a-string-in-javascript-in-3-different-ways-75e4763c68cb"
          }

I hope that this is the right way to submit this “Issue”

That source comes from here and is where the problem was originally sourced. The exercise was sourced from that location to the language-agnostic problem spec. We then use the problem spec to create exercises for all the Exercism tracks. The source is not Rust-specific as the problem data is not Rust-specific.

Thanks for the answer and explanation, IsaaG.

Very clear!
