That's a good way to get into the language, as long as you have someone to guide you through the borrow checker during the jam.

I didn't haha. I spent probably a good 3 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't mutuably store a value I got out of a hashmap. It was fun though :) a throwback to when I was learning c and didn't get pointers.
The learning pain is comparable to C pointers when you first see them haha. Funny thing is that after getting used to the borrow checker and other nice things of the language, its sad to go back to the languages I use at work.
