I just started learning rust like two days ago and I haven’t had too many issues with OOP so far… is it going to get considerably worse as the complexity of my projects increases?

It will become more complex when you start needing circular references in your datastructures.

You’ll be fine. You will learn the lifetime stuff and all will work out. It’s not that bad to be honest.

Worse in the sense of more errors, sure, but as you go you’ll pick up more of the rust patterns of thinking and imo it’s very worth it. It’s an odd blend and can be a bit verbose but I definitely prefer it to a pure OO or pure functional style language personally
