I find attitudes like this simply bizzare. nothing about rust is 'easy' no matte...

Not saying rust is easy, but syntax wouldn't even be in the top 5 if I had to list things that make rust difficult.

It always amazes me what things people will latch on to. There are many valid criticisms to be had, but those aren't the focus points of the debates.

But many of those valid criticisms require some familiarity with the language. With syntax they can just point at it and claim it's bad without having to learn anything first.

I find attitudes like this simply non-genuine.

I mean I have worked with c++, Python, JS/TS, Java and Scala. The syntax of Rust is a mix of these. Apart from that, borrowing, some pointer work and you're set. Honestly Copilot is pretty good at generating code that you can pick up the patterns from. I would highly recommend you give it a try. Not a fan though, for any large project Rust wont be my first choice because of lack of proper libraries and Java is performant enough almost all the time.
