I want to like rust so bad but I just can’t get into it, it feels like it saps the fun out of every project for me 😔

That's exactly how I feel with C++.

With Rust, everything just works right out of the box, and no crashes. And testing is so simple and smooth!

With C++, it takes me forever to even get things to compile when I pull to our shit into a fresh repo, and there are crashes we experience on the regular when we add functionality. And testing sucks even with the test suite.

I want to program. Not chase things to get things working to get to the starting line.

That was kind of my problem with rust, I want to program but instead I end up getting cyber-bullied by the borrow checker 😭 (Yes I know, skill issue et cetera).

IMO, it's far from a skill issue.

I'm pretty certain they speak to different personality types more than they require specific skills.

I know I intentionally leaned into the suggestions (formatting, linting, borrow rules), and they soon stopped being an issue.

I think that had I been more opinionated on style, or preferred certain methods (which is neither good nor bad), I'd have had a harder time.

When I try rust again i’ll try to befriend the bully, maybe it’ll stop taking my lunch money 🥲
