No one really claimed it was easy to learn. Find me one Rustacean that claims Rust is as easy as Python/Ruby/Go.
But it is higher level language with decent ergonomic and in such way it can be interpreted as user-friendly.

If Java programmer (me) can learn Rust in a year enough to contribute to Servo development, you (ideal Rust learner) should have no problem either.
Plus Google saw about 6-month to get people up to speed with Rust.

- Ygg2 2y agoSure but that's a no one. Same as me. Find someone on Rust team saying that. Or someone teaching Rust constantly. I can see user friendly. It's got a solid ecosystem around it, and compiler is super helpful with errors. But easy to learn it ain't.
