The way I think about rust is this: you can experience the pain up front while you’re getting your program to compile, or you can experience pain later during runtime in random unpredictable ways. Rust is the former. It takes time to learn how to reduce the up front pain, but I’m so much more confident in the end result.

I say this having years of coding background in languages like C, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, etc.
