That's insightful, thank you. It wasn't hard to follow, I did have these exact same "adventures" but I guess I forgot about them after I figured out the ways to do things.

Personally these kinds of things are exciting for me, trying to understand the constraints etc, so maybe that's also why I don't remember struggling with learning Rust, since it wasn't painful for me 😅 If someone has to learn by being forced to and not out of their own will, it's probably a lot harder

Could you specify some kind of example where things were hard?

I see that my previous comment is not the common reality apparently.

I'm mainly a C# + js dev of a few years, and I would love to see what precisely other people here are having problems with, because I've had a completely different experience to most of the people replying.

I just don't understand this. You get used to the syntax and borrow checker in a day or two. It's a non-issue.

this is how I became a software developer
