> Rust's learning curve isn't exactly a shallow one either.
I don't know how people can be so sure of this. We know essentially nothing about how to teach or learn Rust effectively, it's something that the community is just starting to look at. However, one thing we do know is that the detailed support that the Rust compiler provides to the novice programmer is quite simply unparalleled in other mainstream languages. It's basically the ultimate T.A.
I’m not sure I’d use as strong language as you (though I personally love the rust compiler’s messages), but I will say it’s gotta count that it doesn’t automatically and silently generate instance methods that explicitly break the memory model (cough rule of three…)
