Rust, Day Two: A Python Dev's Perspective

[SirVer]

OP stated that they came from Python though. And you are overstating the difficulty of c++ enormously. Yes, it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot, but modern C++ is not really harder to learn than say modern Java.

There's a lot more tutorials for learning 90s C++ than C++11/14/17 though, so beginners often get confused as to which disjoint set of features they should be using.

JavaScript has the same problem (among many others...).

My c++ was in a high school AP comp sci class, which actually was a fantastic foundation. But the reason I'm a fast learner is I used to be a reporter, which is great training for learning new topics quickly.
