I want to note here that throughout the internet and HN there is this ongoing wisdom that although Rust is very useful, valuable etc writing code in it is very hard because it constantly feels like you're wrestling the compiler.
Well, maybe there is some truth to it, but I want to say that having started learning Rust in 2022, I found it's multi-threadedness model very refreshing. I thought it was such a delight to write code in, and personally loved it at least one order of magnitude than Go's goroutines. It's safe, embedded in type system (Send etc), has tons of standard tools (Arc, Mutex, mspci channel etc...) that are hard to shoot your foot with.
When people talk about Rust's complicated nature, I wish more emphasis is made on how it completely eliminates entire categories of bugs even within a multi-threaded context. As a corrolary, it really makes some parts of programming hard in other languages, nearly trivial in Rust.
