I feel that that's not really true. I'm from a dynamic language background and I didn't have many problems. Quite the opposite actually, as to me the Rust compiler was more of a teacher at first. I've tried getting into C and C++ a couple of times in the past, but since I started using Rust I finally started understanding some of the concepts and issues from those languages that I had a hard time grasping earlier.
- camus2 10y ago> I've tried getting into C and C++ a couple of times in the past You just proved my point. You did get into C and C++ before trying Rust.
- phaylon 10y agoNo, I _tried_ and failed. I've never made it anywhere close to writing my own C or C++ code, and failed at the tutorial stage or earlier.
- camus2 10y agoBut you wrote a malloc, free, new or delete before. it's not like you were oblivious to these concepts, that's exactly my point.
- phaylon 10y agoYes, but I didn't understand the implications or background. If the prerequisite for having enough basic knowledge is "making it halfway through a C tutorial" it doesn't seem as much of a hindrance as your top comment suggested.
