> The biggest long-term issue in my mind is unsafe
I'd say that, but for different reasons. It's depressing how often you have to use unsafe. I would not mind if it was hidden in libraries tested within an inch of their life 99.9% of the time, but it didn't work out that way for me. Recursively defined data structures like trees were just a nightmare to do without unsafe's.
I thought that was perhaps because I just sucked at Rust, but then I listened to a talk from one of the Mozilla core devs working on Servo. Their code had more unsafe's than mine. The amount of parallelism they were trying to get was extreme of course, so it wasn't really much of a comparison. It made me feel much better all the same.
