I think I understand why Rust is difficult

🎙️ discussion

After 3 weeks with Rust, I now get why it's tough for most people: multiple ways to do the same thing + huge API surface = instant overwhelm.

So, I’ve decided to apply the Pareto Principle: learn roughly the most important 20% of Rust so I can be productive ~80% of the time.
