Rust is a terribly slow language to write in, especially if you’re trying to fight it in any way - because you‘ll lose. It’s verbose and quite ugly as it tries to appeal to C family programmers while being expression and pattern based. When trying to resolve ownership issues with closures the first time, you‘ll be doubting whether Rust is in fact a language or just a sick elaborate joke that tries to mock you for even considering to use it. But with every concept learned you feel accomplished and start to develop Stockholm syndrome. The Rust compiler beats you to pieces and puts you together again. As a new programmer, you rise from the ashes of your past inadequacies and delusions: „Rust is actually a pretty productive language.“ On a more serious note: there is a book „Programming Rust“ and likely others that help with a structured introduction to the language, which I feel is a warranted approach, especially if the memory management concepts seem alien to you.
