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.
