This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

I'm only saying this because I've seen this posted on several boards , and there's to much negative attitude towards the blogger.

I don't understand people being defensive, it's not like the author hates rust, as a matter of fact he loves rust and chose to write a game in it for 3 years. He's just sharing his experience with the language, and some one might find it useful, even the language devs might appreciate feedback from the community.

How is the language going to improve, if all we do I show hostility towards those who critiques some parts of the language, it's going to be C++ all over again, if people stop doing that because being afraid of getting community backlash. The elitist attitude isn't helpful and has never been.
