If you can learn to use C++ correctly then, with the right time investment and motivation, then you can learn rust without problems. The compiler mostly complains about things you wouldn't do in C++ anyway because it would either crash right now or it would be brittle code that would be easy to break later. I knew enough C++ when I learned rust that I never perceived the lifetimes to be something that gets in the way. My major pain points were: * Leaning a new standard library, the names of common functions and common tasks to do things like handling strings, iterators etc. Nothing weird, just lots of new stuff to learn * figuring out which libraries outside the stdlib are actually a de-facto stdlib that it's ok to just use/build around (assert_matches, bytes, ...) * endless despair of async rust. Anyway you need to compare apples to apples, with the total cesspool that c++ coroutines are
