Rust is a language that just doesn't go into my head. And whenever I have a question the community either downvotes or ignores me. The readability is bad. The error messages don't make sense. This type of post only covers the syntax basics. There's nowhere to turn to for applied concepts.

It's like Ultima Online back in the day. Everyone loved it but every time I tried i fell asleep and just couldn't get into it.

I'm semi happy with Go. It's a hands on language that is fast enough. But it's missing elegance and something I can't put my finger on is missing.

But Rust, it feels like a step back. What do I think in? Boxes? Wrap unwrap move what? It's so hipster I just hate it. And compilation takes a lot of resources and time. Hell, Java makes more sense to me than Rust.

And why all those macros? And impl for order is backwards. Why couldn't the word class be used, no they just want to be different for the sake of being different. It's a language for hipster rebels without a cause.
