There's a lot of talk in general how Rust has a steep learning curve, mainly due to the borrow checker and lifetimes - but is this as hard as it gets?
Everything here seems logical and fairly self-explanatory, the only slightly alien thing is the lifetime annotation.
Are there advanced gotchas that can actually trip up an experienced coder? Are there some aspects of real work that Rust makes difficult, or impossible?
I mostly code in C# (which in my opinion is an excellent and productive ecosystem), but Rust seems to make a promise of providing a greater level of confidence in the code that is very alluring - I'd like to take the plunge, I'm just a bit worried about smashing into any hidden rocks at the deeper end
