@ekuber@hachyderm.io I didn't have much trouble picking up Rust, in spite of never having used a functional programming language (OCaml/Haskell/etc) much at all. I do have decades of experience across a variety of languages though, so that probably helped. Honestly the parts of 'learning Rust' that were the most difficult for me were the implicit behavior things. Any situation where you tell the compiler to 'use' one thing but that brings in various traits and that makes a completely unrelated (visibly) thing later in the code become compileable... that sort of action-at-a-distance thing really bothers me.
