I could not even succeed in doing the simplest thing like putting code into a function and executing the function and getting a result back. I can't recall why.

Interestingly, I started a side project to rebuild OneTimeSecret in Rust yesterday and got the basics working already https://github.com/likeabbas/RustOneTimeSecret

The only other exposure I had to the language was attempting some Leetcode problems. I really like Rust so far. The type system is extremely powerful, the compiler gives robust error messages, and it has so many awesome features like pattern matching and destructuring.

You are smarter than me.
Doubtful. I may have wanted to like Rust more than you when giving it a shot.

I've written a lot of Java and Go but I never enjoyed writing in those languages. I found functional programming languages in college to be very fun, and Rust is giving me that same feeling.
