With a comparison of how hard or how long it takes to become proficient with a language, this article is pretty meaningless. From anecdotes I've heard from others about Rust and my own (limited) experience with the language, I suspect they are on to something, but this article contributes nothing that convinces me that Rust is hard to learn.

When my friends ask me about rust I tell them it's hard as fuck, but worth it: better to set difficult expectations and have them conquer those, than the opposite happen and they give up thinking they are smart enough.
