Re:Rust Sucks If I Fail to Write X by ehsanu1 on Friday February 17, 2017 @02:32PM (#13670998)
The issue is: Can I write something in scratch in this language 1) at all and 2) with some amount of daily progress. Writing data-structures is a test case of my ability to thing and program in the context of Rust.

The point is that it's not the best test case. A better test case would be writing the programs you generally write. It'll still be hard to be honest, but really not quite as hard. I have enough familiarity with Rust to write application code myself, but I'd probably still struggle a lot with writing a data structure if I tried.
