Yes. Finding Rust and doing some real things with is has been mindblowing. I have mainly Ruby/Scala/Python/Clojure background and I've only written a small lisp with C before, so Rust had some new concepts I needed to tackle. Now I've made my first app using Tokio having one asynchronious thread and a couple in sync. And even with hard concurrent/parallel code, if it compiles, it usually works.

Getting there might be a challenge sometimes, especially when you're just starting. But believe me learning Rust is worth the trouble.
