I really want to love Rust. The resulting programs written in it are fast, memory efficient and safe. Something which usually isn't the case in other programming languages. But here and there I see how simple problems require complicated solutions, for example when you want to create a logger middleware for a web service: https://youtu.be/16sU1q8OeeI https://youtu.be/16sU1q8OeeI
Something I could have written in 3 lines of JavaScript. In Rust, it requires knowledge of poll, pin, boxpin, ... and even third-party crates (if you yourself are not enough of a magician). I'm not sure if Rustaceans are okay with that additional complexity, but it really scares me off to dig deeper into that language. I would appreciate if some experienced Rust programmers could comment!
