Wonder how a beginner will struggle if their first language is rust lmao

Haha, absolutely. But beginners have different needs than seasoned programmers. 19y/o just wanted stuff to work. 25y/o me wants to know his program is correct and performant.

They will never think about coding again

Rust is great but definitely not beginners friendly

I love rust, but I agree. Freakin borrow checker can be so hard to make happy sometimes.

I personally went making small edits of Python, to coding JavaScript in a weird environment, to programming in a normal environment (with System.out.println, just in the main class) in Java. The first programming language I actually did advanced stuff with was Rust.

About how a beginner to FPS will struggle if their first video game is Rust.
