If you're already familiar with system languages like C++, I think you'd make progress in Rust a lot faster than you think. However, it takes a LONG ass time to truly know the language and internalize good intuition around the kind of code you need to write to take advantage of it. I do love Rust, but one complaint is that early design decisions because of my weak understanding are extremely hard to refactor out later on. Poor type choices can end up bleeding into the entire project that become nightmares to improve. My advice is to use cargo workspaces to break up your project into small self contained modules early so when you will inevitably need to refactor, it will make your life less painful.
