I really don't like how they always try to do everything on the heap. Realizing how memory worked in Rust was a pretty major letdown given how it's sold.

I’ve heard similar thoughts from others who went into Rust expecting something radically freeing — and found themselves wrestling with the borrow checker and unexpected heap usage.

I still want to explore Rust at some point, but I think it’s important to hear real experiences like yours.

Sometimes the simplicity of C — for all its sharp edges — feels more honest.
