And yet, that was not my experience.
I'm sure it is. I'm an old man who codes proficiently in dozens of languages.
Rust isn't some messianic message I need to forget everything I previously learned for.
I'm happy to adapt. I let Python have it's goddamned four spaces, even.
But Rust couldn't be arsed, at the time, to tell me what it wanted in terms clear to someone only proficient in dozens of other languages.
So Rust can either up it's 'here's what you need to know' game, or it can continue to get off my damn lawn.
It's possible, even hopeful, that Rust has massively improved since I gave it a test run. It would be hard for it have gotten worse, frankly.
Your tone, here, comes across like the folks who denied that Java had a serious community culture problem while the rest of us quietly moved on to Python.
If you're confident it's better now, you can simply say, "I think it's a lot better now, you might like it."
