> [the borrow checker] makes Rust relatively hard to learn and use. I would say the borrow checker makes rust harder to learn, but it does not make it harder to use once you actually grok it. When that time comes, the borrow checker fades into the background. When I got to that point with Rust, it became much easier to use than other languages for me (others I use being C++ and C).
