I like Rust as much as the next HN enthusiast, but there's a reason there's not a lot of Rust code actually out in the wild, or jobs much available, or libraries with more than one creator/maintainer... and it's because of all the words you could use to describe Rust, the last one on that list would be "easy." Anything non-trivial in Rust is a lesson in extreme patience.
