Rust is NOT hard to learn!
summary
Claims Rust is not hard to learn after an initial hump and that the real barrier is unlearning old habits and mastering ownership and the borrow checker. Evidence: a personal retry (learned on the second attempt), a 2–3 week early pain window, a three‑minute concurrency demo using threads, and two years spent building a Rust book. Tooling cited: Cargo and the compiler as a tutor. Outcome: safer refactors, fewer null bugs, and working examples that validate the claim.
