After my initial failed attempt to learn Rust I then took a second shot at it by writing Actix web code and had alot more success. This is the path I would take if I was returning to Rust. Having said that, I felt that for the most part this approach was just avoiding the task of learning the complexities. But, I do believe that learning something hard starts by learning a little bit of it and building on that initial foothold.
