I feel like a lot of difficulties people run into with Rust are because they're trying to do things the "right" way. You can often make your life easier with liberal use of reference counted objects, instead of solving difficult lifetime constraints, but it doesn't feel like the perfect way to do it. Often people are pursuing zero-cost abstractions to their detriment. They then compare the language unfavourably against languages where those zero-cost abstractions weren't even an option.
