I've always wanted to learn Rust but have found it devilishly complex compared to the likes of Go, but I appreciate there's not much that can be done about its complexity this far down the road.

My other big beef with Rust is its lack of a comprehensive stdlib, unlike Go. Having to pull in tons of external crates of varying quality and with varying degrees of dependency chains is not particularly pleasant.

Having a decent, well maintained, stdlib that contains "the basics" that one would expect in any 21st century programming language is sorely missing from Rust, and from my personal perspective is something that would draw me back to Rust for another go at learning it.
