OCaml is great. One of my favorite languages. I think the only thing hard about it is the fact that it is solidly FP, and that is not a familiar paradigm to many. One of these days I want to check out F# so I can use the whole .NET set of libs as well (the only bad thing about ocaml is the small ecosystem of libs).
> These jokers in this thread “oh rust isnt hard! Ohhh they probably didnt try much.” Respectfully, get outta here. I love rust. Taken the doubly linked list tutorial? How about needed to use anything with Pin? Rust requires a huge surface area of foundational knowledge to be productive, full stop—the author is absolutely within his right to make this very fair claim about rust being onerous, relative to his candidate pool
Rust is not an easy language, but I find it strange that people take the hardest parts and act like it is most of what it is about (I can count on one hand how many times I've had to directly interact with Pin). The things you mention aren't things I spend any time on, and I write Rust nearly 12 hours a day.
P.S. - Is there actually a double linked list tutorial? What an _awful_ way to learn Rust. That is like starting at the very end of what you should be learning and then working forward. No wonder it scared people away.
