Ah, this rings so true.
I've tried to get into Rust on/off and each time I'm left feeling like I needed a semester of instruction just to write a trivial program. Each attempt to go back to it, I would immediately hit a wall.
Go, on the other hand, felt quick to pick up. While I don't use it a lot, it's focus on a few composition patterns, and really sticking by that, made it easier for me to learn and come back to when I go back to my Python-centric existence.
Rust on the other hand, I haven't thought about nor touched, outside seeing an HN headline.
