       Perhaps it’s just because of my #C experience, but I actually find #Rust easier to use than #Python. I know, that’s crazy! However, I find it nudges you to write good maintainable code, instead sloppily scripting something in 5 minutes. You also don’t have to worry about performance. In some cases, Rust is even faster than C as the compiler has a better understanding of your code (e.g. ownership & lifetimes), allowing it to do more optimisation tricks.

       Once you learn the basics (the free Rust book is great), it just becomes natural. The compiler errors are also the most descriptive and helpful that I have ever seen. They even suggest how to solve the problem, giving inexperienced programmers a helping hand. Python only wins in the support department (more libraries and users) but that might change in the not so distant future 😉
