I'm pleased with it too. Seriously. When I learned it it took me a bit to get lifetimes and borrows and stuff but once I did I got it and I rarely have to "fight" it. Running in an IDE hooked to rust-analyzer helps a lot too since you get pretty instant feedback if you get something wrong most of the time. I have this suspicion that at least a few of the people who hate a lot of languages with more complex type systems or large stdlibs (e.g. Go, Java, C#) are trying to edit them in a plain vanilla text editor without these features. This would require you to memorize way too much shit. Why? Modern machines have gigabytes of RAM. Run a language server.
