Yeah, I tried picking rust up a few years ago and ran into a few weird issues that would block me from making good progress. I've now used it to create a parser that reads data and converts it to other formats (for my bespoke needs) and it's so fast it's crazy. I had much less issues this time, CLion integration with Rust is really helpful as well. The tooling around rust is now great (rustup, cargo, etc).
