Some thoughts on my short experience with rust for anyone that cares. Probably a yearish ago?(Futures weren't solid yet) I didn't read the original blog post, just the head line and skimmed comments. Though i read this one

I think this post alludes to my issue, the language it self i don't think changes at an unreasonable rate, the ecosystem felt like a problem. There's so much changing, what's the "right" way, the right library, expected syntax seemed overwhelming. maybe this doesn't change a lot, but it is compounded by the new user experience. Other things are out dated resources around the internet. The other thing I think that makes this seem worse is I think the a lot of the community is online and hobbyist work, and the speed communities change on line is just fast, information moves fast, blink and you'll miss something.

I do remember feeling excited about rust, but it felt like there was always something new learn, something around the corner, something better coming then a new feature would come out, i gotta learn that, what is going on in nightly. Supposedly editions fixed that, but even that I gotta go figure out what an edition is and what its implications are.

I haven't gone back to rust, at this point I feel like i need to relearn it to write anything worthwhile. Just basic stuff like how projects are laid out. I have a commit in the rust compiler, but i cant tell you the right way to organize a new project because at some point it changed. To much to keep in my head.
