This is of course why garbage collected languages exist. If you don't need the performance or efficiency gained from having full control of memory, then GC'd languages will offer less cognitive load. IMHO, programming in Rust is no harder than C++ or C. It just forces one to be explicit about lifetimes and ownership, concepts one should be carefully thinking about in other systems programming languages.
