> I agree Rust is easy to learn. I've done it 4 or 5 times now

No joke, is true.

When I see Rust first time I agree to everything, agree is the way, is correct and is nice (it hurt me a lot that have used around 10+ langs before professionally, and I come just right from F# so need so little to be converted!).

And obviously that is how I should have done the stuff if the other langs have the proper features!

Then, I need to actually program correctly and bam! Is so hard!

I need to relearn it many times. And yes, the hard part is to stop doing all the things that I have done in all the other langs implicitly.

BTW, the hard part with Rust is that a)It syntax is too familiar and b) Is a totally different programming model. Until it not get the second part and truly pay attention to `moves, borrow, share, lock, clone, copy` instead of `loops, iter, conditional, read, write, etc` then is very hard to progress.
