Haven't followed Rust too much, but I'm always surprised when I hear that Rust is too difficult or not ergonomic. As I understand it is meant to be a systems level language; something you'd use to write kernels, TCP stacks, browsers and ssh daemons.

Anyone writing these things today in C or C++ already understands object lifetimes and Rust just adds a static checker for them.

In such projects churning out lines of code is not the bottleneck, ease of development should not be prioritized over long term maintainability.

Why on earth would you try to rewrite python CRUD apps in Rust?
