Wasn't my intention. I'm sorry if I came off that way, I can see how my comment might be presumptive or pretentious. My bad. You don't have to do any of that. You don't even need to write Rust in my book, it's not the one true language or anything. That's just what's working for me personally.
My first six months with Rust were very painful and I struggled to write the simplest programs. (This was in fact, the first six months of my second attempt - the first time I tried to learn it, I gave up.) Eventually I learned how to work with it, and since then, it's my absolute favorite language to work in (though presently I mostly write Typescript and SQL, because I'm writing webapps). I tried to summarize what happened along the way and what changed.
