As a fellow Rust user, please stop saying this. Not everyone who codes like us is a bad programmer. It's this kind of sentiment that gives us a bad name.

Rust may influence us into patterns that are better in some (likely even most) situations, but not always. Sometimes the situation calls for other approaches, and that's okay.

Think you're misunderstanding the OP. Do you think rust is hard to use?
The OP is crapping on people who find Rust hard to learn by broad-brushing them into the "bad programmer" bucket. It's a hallmark of Rust zealots, and one reason why the Rust community has such a bad name. Which is a shame because the language is decent and useful.
Fair enough, it's an elitist attitude!
