Rust is easy
summary
Claim: Rust is easy if you trust the compiler. The demo installs and uses rustup and cargo, edits in Vim with rust-analyzer and Copilot disabled, drops a Python-style def into main.rs, then iteratively fixes errors: missing fn/main, parameter types, String vs string naming, lifetime/borrow hints and unused-code warnings until cargo run succeeds. A later attempt at factorial hits private/unstable range APIs and type-bound errors, showing what works (stepwise compiler fixes) and what still blocks a quick port.
