This sums it up pretty well (I disagree that "functional sucks"). https://youtu.be/nuML9SmdbJ4?si=DEBaHcAvvxO_Ez93 https://youtu.be/nuML9SmdbJ4?si=DEBaHcAvvxO_E

This sums it up pretty well (I disagree that "functional sucks"). https://youtu.be/nuML9SmdbJ4?si=DEBaHcAvvxO_Ez93 https://youtu.be/nuML9SmdbJ4?si=DEBaHcAvvxO_Ez93 There is a lot of jargon, and that presents an extremely high hurdle for newcomers (especially for those without formal mathematical education). Bizarrely, C++ has a worse version of the same problem: the "modernization specs" are tribal jargon heavy. Compare that with the likes of JS, people learn that in a few weeks bootcamp. Rust absolutely has hurdles, but you can be largely successful without ever touching them (you can get a surprising amount done without ever worrying about lifetimes).
