I would love to learn Rust, but the learning curve seems a bit too steep for me. The whole struggle with lifetimes is what has kept me from diving in. It seems impossible to me to figure out how to use them correctly. Plus the redundant syntax, I guess. If those things weren't an issue for me, I would gladly try to learn Rust.

Lowering the learning curve is a huge objective of this year!

> The whole struggle with lifetimes

How did you try to learn them? I'm interested in trying to make this easier!

> the redundant syntax

Which bits are redundant?
