Everything in Rust is somewhat hard.

  That's the tradeoff you get for compiler-checked memory management. It's hard to write safe code. C is easier because you don't have to prove it's safe.

  ... to get an initial implementation of. It's much easier to read, debug and refactor Rust code than in almost any other language that offers similar resource-efficiency.

    Ada is way easier to read, debug, maintain, and refactor than Rust. So is the majority of other halfway safe languages (except Haskell, maybe).
    • mmirate 8y ago
      Halfway-safe languages (including Haskell) that aren't Rust, have a nasty habit of eating memory (and usually CPU time, too) for breakfast, compared to equivalent programs in C, C++ and Rust. That's what I meant by "resource efficiency".

  Compared to what? C++? C? Python?
