0. Learning curve is not even remotely close to C++ and all it's gotchas. And it will never be so. What has to be explained in every one of these threads, Rust is becoming EASIER to use with time not more. New releases make the std nicer and they remove language limitations. 1. Plenty of tools to keep track of your dependencies. It is also entirely possible to go it your own way and keep dependencies very low. You just have to implement more things yourself. Dependencies don't just insert themselves into your code on their own. 2. I don't even understand what you mean. Rust has a ton of very good resources to learn from coming from all knowledge levels. You can also use Rust at an entirely C level and only use as many advanced abstractions as you are comfortable with.
