> But I think that's one of the main things people tend to love once they get over the initial hump of grokking all the different ways of passing variables around. Agreed. I think the GP comment really underestimates how smooth Rust feels to Rust devs who have gotten over that hump. I've programmed in many languages and i confidently do not feel i am slower in Rust than other languages. Maybe not faster, but not slower in development speed. But what i do get, for development speed, is the ability to solve large problems with many, many tools. I found this quite annoying in Go. In Rust, it's great. Complex problems are still complex, and Rust doesn't inherently simplify them - but it gives me the tools to come at problems in many ways. Which if you need it is invaluable.
