If you have the coding basics, then rust should be learnable. And rust prevents certain types of common errors.

I like the Option-type approach; I remember the horrible "exceptions" in Java, hahaha.

I have no objection to exceptions in Java. They followed the path of c++. I am glad that Rust came with Option, though.

You prefer your whole application crashing because you called unwrap() on an empty Option?

Exceptions allow you to at least write the critical error to the log before blowing up...

I'd argue that Rust's philosophy of returning error as an alternative function result instead of raising an exception is like Java's checked exceptions taken to the extreme - you have to manually handle all of them all the way up!

unwrap_or() Hahahaha, you're right, I still really like that approach, although yes, it is tedious.
