> The problem with junior developers is that Rust will be incredibly frustrating to learn by perturbation Yes, this is the biggest issue with Rust that I've seen; most language will let you do something wrong and then as you learn you get better. Rust will refuse to compile if you're not doing things correctly (and normally I would put 'correctly' in quotes but correctness in Rust is well defined). The first time I tried to experiment with learning Rust was a disaster. I just wanted to decode some JSON and filter it, but -- oops! -- I don't own that variable. Okay, well I can pass it somewhere else mutably, right? But then that function does the work and returns something that... what's a lifetime? What's a 'a mean? How do I... screw it, I'll go back to Python. Eventually, after the tooling and the tutorials got better I came back to it and really enjoyed what I've seen so far and even rewrote one of my own personal tools in Rust[1] to experiment with. It's nothing impressive, but it was fun to do. [1] https://github.com/danudey/rust-downloader https://github.com/danudey/rust-downloader
