   #Rust is funny for me. So in an attempt to fix the issues around manual memory management, and how it's a hard thing for humans to do well, they created a language where you have to set lifetimes, figure out the scope and do some really crazy syntactic mumbo-jumbo, resulting in at least as much confusion and difficulty as manual memory management, if not more. What are we winning here exactly?

   Humans write code, not robots, not yet anyway, and yet we keep making it more complex.

     I've tried it a couple of times.. I work in c\c++\c# all day long, but I also wanted to learn some rust.. But I have real problems wrapping my head around it. It just does not stick.
     So I went back to what I know.
     
     The only reason I would learn it properly - is if I got forced to learn it at work and get paid for it, other then that I just do not have the motivation or energy to learn it.
