There's a sense in which people are saying it's easier to learn other languages than Rust because it's easier to get to code that compiles so you can start building new features. There's a different sense that I feel is being overlooked by those people in that the problems you run into with Rust are frequently actual flaws or bugs in your code, and the compiler shouldn't be thought of an adversary blocking your way to feature development but a teacher showing you the things you're overlooking. So once you put in the upfront cost of learning how to write Rust that compiles, you get code that's much more maintainable, correct, and easy to refactor. So for someone that likes learning languages, I'd say choosing to learn Rust is a great choice and will teach you things you can take with you to other languages.
