This is not my experience using Rust. I had six months of programming experience when I first tried Rust. I definitely got confusing errors at first, but I grasped the system within a month or two. And that was in 2014 - the borrowchecker and especially its errors have way improved since then!

But this is also a very different objection from your initial objection, which was just a statement of fact about type systems for turing complete languages.

I'll take a look once I am done learning another hot language ;-) Thanks!

So your issue isnt about rust, its about changing popularity and language trendiness?

Not at all; currently I am able to write non-trivial programs in >60 languages and ranging from low-level distributed transactions (did own Paxos already) through 3D visualizations, business software, mobile apps, Deep Learning models and AI, system software all the way to advanced ETL pipelines using imperative, functional, logical, co-routine-based, generics, reactive, declarative etc. concepts and am always on the lookout for a better language as I can't find the perfect one ;-) So I want to understand where Rust stands and if it is meaningful investment to learn it, both programming "pleasure"-wise and business sense-wise.

Have you tried to write GUI code in Rust?
