I've been dabbling in Rust on and off since 2014, and this has always been my feeling. I thought my background in C++ would make things reasonably easy, and while I have little fondness for C++, it's still easier to get things done than with Rust, which is not at all what I expected given my 4 years with the language.
There's a lot to like about Rust, but it falls far short of the "easy-as-Go" promises made by many of its proponents.
