I had many many false starts back in 2014 when I tried learning Rust. It took me to stop comparing it or thinking about it like C++ (syntactically and semantically) in order for me to get it. Now, I’d consider myself reasonably fluent in Rust. I don’t mind the syntax because I find it explicit enough, but terse enough in certain cases. It’s similar but different and so it rhymes with my past in C++, but it’s not the same.
