> Rust is easy to learn and user friendly. But if you are stuck in your ways (...) It's high time that people in the Rust community such as you just stop with this act. The Rust community itself already answered that they find "Rust too difficult to learn or learning will take too much time" as a concern to not use Rust. The community also flagged Rust being too difficult as one of the main reasons they stopped using Rust. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Survey-2023-results.html https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Surve...

Anyone who has managed to become proficient in C++ is smart enough to be proficient in Rust. The only too difficult part is adapting to the rust way of doing things and some refuse to.

  There is a saying among Haskellers that "Haskell has the steepest unlearning curve". Sounds like Rust is similar.

  Everybody who has managed to become proficient building a school is smart enough to be proficient in building a library. So building libraries must be easy, that's totally why you can become an architect over night ... What a stupid argument you delivered

  > Anyone who has managed to become proficient in C++ is smart enough to be proficient in Rust. I'm not sure you're paying attention. The people who are saying Rust is too hard are the Rust community itself. They said so in Rusty's annual survey. The ones who participate in it are Rust users who feel strongly about the topic to participate in their governance. It's Rust users who say Rust is too hard. There is no way around this fact.

  > Anyone who has managed to become proficient in C++ is smart enough to be proficient in Rust. I agree completely. But I'd reword your statement slightly as "Anyone who has managed to become proficient in the language that is notorious for being one of the most complicated and convoluted languages in existence, with the most footguns per line of code and a CVE record that proves its difficulty, ..." It changes the conclusion just a tad.
