From an ex Go-er (5 or 6 years professionally?), now in Rust for a bit over a year, I can say that Rust in the majority of the cases is "just as easy" as Go.

The thing with Rust is it gives you a lot more of the complexity rope if you desire to hang yourself with it. But, a realization I had early on, was that I didn't _have_ to. Not everything has to reuse perfect lifetimes or maximum possible generics. You don't have to chase every latest feature (Async, I'm looking at you). Without all of that, Rust is still an amazing language.

What I found most amazing after leaving Go was not something I expected: Iterators. Being able to easily mutate complex data structures, filtering in complex ways, zipping, chaining, etc. I could do the same exact thing in Go mind you, but in Go I found myself writing helper functions all over the place. In Go, my code felt so spread out, and was hard to just look at in one screen to understand. Rust (and Iterators) made so logic concise that you could view it in one screen and make sense of it.

Keeping code "locality" was oddly, by a large margin, my favorite thing about Rust.
