Rust is very easy when you want to do easy things. You can actually just completely avoid the borrow-checker altogether if you want to. Just .clone(), or Arc/Mutex. It's what all the other languages (like Go or Java) are doing anyway.
But if you want to do a difficult and complicated thing, then Rust is going to raise the guard rails. Your program won't even compile if it's unsafe. It won't let you make a buggy app. So now you need to back up and decide if you want it to be easy, or you want it to be correct.
Yes, Rust is hard. But it doesn't have to be if you don't want.
