To learn rust I tried to port a thing I previously made in Javascript. It felt like if Javascript is a straight hallway with booby traps here and there Rust is hallway with huge bank locker doors every few steps.
I felt drained managing lifetimes in attempt to create a factory for different 2d drawing implementations using different libraries and have left it there.
