The big issue I had with learning Rust is not the simple stuff -- I could write safe Rust fairly quickly. The problem I continue to have is that many internal behaviors of the language are totally undocumented and inexplicable. For example, implicit reborrows. They happen everywhere, but it's still just a pile of unicorn farts as far as documentation. The idea of a language with no documentation for a given syntax is horrifying. Rust does very well in documentation for beginners, but if you actually want to understand the language, if you want to know what's really happening, you're usually fucked.
