Yep; and cloning boxed objects everywhere often leads to slower rust code than the equivalent javascript or Go. And if you only teach a subset of rust without references, people can't read code snippets online, or most of the standard library documentation. In comparison, Python, Go, Javascript and C# are all much easier to teach and leave students more able to make real software.
