My biggest gripe with Rust, which certainly reflects my own shortcomings, is that when I go back and revisit simple Rust programs I wrote more than a year ago, it takes me a long time to understand what I was even doing in a particular part of the program. This is my weakness ... I'm not great with Rust and I don't use it enough to get better. But it is what it is.

In contrast, when I go back and read Go or C code I wrote years ago, I have no trouble at all quickly figuring out what I was doing in the small programs I write.

The way these issues manifest themselves, as it recently did, was I went back to add a simple addition to a CLI tool I wrote for myself a year ago, and I was having trouble doing it because I couldn't quickly understand what I had been doing a year ago ... so I just had an AI agent do it for me. This was the kind of change that if it was a Go program, I would've done manually myself in about 5 or 10 mins.
