In the context of the conversation, adopting Rust over Go is a mistake for the majority of applications primarily because of the difference in learning curve. Of course there are other factors, and not all applications are equal. I threw in my C++ background to demonstrate that I'm quite capable of thinking in the low-level terms demanded of Rust programmers, and my learning curve was still very large. You can disagree if you like, but my comment was related.

I don't agree that the learning curve difference (which is a temporary cost that decreases over time) is high enough to outweigh the benefits in the "majority" of cases that could benefit from Rust (and reap those benefits long-term). I respect your experience, but it doesn't invalidate mine, which has held up with many people I've seen get up to speed with Rust.

I never claimed my experience invalidated yours; you asked for experience that was contrary to yours, so I offered mine.
