Rust is definitely a really cool language (as someone who has played with it just a little) but it's quite headache inducing, at least for me at the moment.
It has a steep learning curve, but it's super nice to use once you're over the initial bump
What's causing the most headache for you?
Mostly the ownership model, trying to remember which functions expect borrowed types or not, etc.
The error messages in rust are really good, so I can usually make the code work quickly, but I need to properly understand the reason behind the error in order to learn, so that's when I get headaches
