This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

@asdfasdfasdf @kaffiene As the friend above says, rust require some time and have a learning curve. Its very different, and thats why people gets strugling with the language. As you got proficience, it will save you hours of debug. I suffered with the learning curve also, but I needed to change the way I was think about how to program.

@asdfasdfasdf @kaffiene I think build a linked list is the last stage of learning rust, because linked lists has circular references that can lead to memory leaks and other memory issues. Build one with rust is hard, because the compiler will not easy for you to make mistakes, but if you can write a linked list, you can write anything in rust. Try this book.
