I haven't written a huge amount of Rust, but I feel like I understand it well enough to not have much of an issue with this. It seems like what Rust really want you to think about is not so much memory management directly, but ownership. Linked lists? Rust just really doesn't like them. Better to use something else instead. I can't remember ever wanting to use a linked list in a program I've written though. I think you could argue that it's tough to write a linked list implementation that really never leaks memory without a GC. Threads? I'd argue that the stuff that Rust prevents are usually real bugs. You might not hit those bugs right away, especially in a language with a GIL, but they're there. Better to know they'll just never happen, no matter how hard you push your threads. For async, I guess I've had good luck with it so far. I still feel like I don't really understand what's going on with Rust async and runtimes, but most of the code I've written with it just works.
