The struggle with Rust
These sorts of articles are starting to pop up a bit more frequently, presumably because Rust is starting to get a bit of traction. The theme is "I know $LOW_LEVEL_LANGUAGE therefore I should be able to program Rust. I spent a few days and couldn't. I don't like Rust."<p>Unfortunately, things aren't that simple and Rust really is different from other languages. It takes months of steady investment (and yes, frustration), but the payoffs are spectacular. I would urge the author to persevere. In the meantime, the community is very helpful and I'm sure you'll get lots of useful advice on the back of this post.
