Nice blog post. Nonetheless, to a new learner like me, the hardest part of rust is not its syntax; it is the ownership management. Sometimes I easily know how to implement a task efficiently in other languages but I have to fight the compiler in rust. I either need to reorganize data structures, which takes effort, or to make a compromise by cloning objects, which affects performance. Note that I do agree with rust designers that it is better to make data dependencies explicit but learning to deal with them properly is nontrivial for me.
