And as long as Rust remains popular, this is why we will witness endless complaining about it. Most devs are lazy, and would rather sweep complexity under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist until it becomes a real problem they can't ignore anymore. That's fine. But no need to be so vocal about it. At this point, people whining about Rust is more of a trope than people proselytizing it.

Not all of us are memory absolutists. The time ideally invested in memory management really depends on the problem space, the deadlines, etc.

I would put more effort into Rust, but I'm not going to invest in learning how to write safe rust if my libraries are built on unsafe.
