If you post hot takes, I'll probably block you. It's nothing personal.
Lifetime syntax can get pretty gnarly, but you have to deal with that maybe 1% of the time. The rest of the language, I don't really understand criticism about the syntax.

The Rust Book, as mentioned is great. If you get through the Rust Book and feel like you still don't really understand the borrow checker, give rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lis... a look.

I work on a project that validates against rustfmt and clippy on every commit. Clippy is by far the more painful of the two to deal with. I've just added cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy to my pre-commit checklist.

The vinyl heads say the exact same thing about CDs - people gave up quality for convenience and that digitized music on CD sounds "cold" or "hollow". Of course, these same people will spend $500 on a cable worth around $5 (source: www.cnet.com/culture/deno...), so maybe that isn't the best example.

Denon is selling a "ultra premium" $500 Ethernet cable for the audio sucker, I mean, enthusiast. So why should I drop $500 on a Cat6 cable with high purity copper?
