summary

Rust emphasizes measurable ergonomics: rustfmt via cargo and rustup streamline installs and consistent commands; error messages and an improved borrow checker with non-lexical lifetimes teach users and reduce friction. Libraries collapse duplication (seven pre-1.0 HashMap find variants reduced) and use the Borrow trait and a Q type to let get accept borrowed keys. Trade-offs are explicit vs implicit (ownership explicit, moves implicit) and async/await aims to replace awkward futures boilerplate.
