It's not hard at all to get the above code to work, and I've only tried Rust for a couple of sub-1000-line weekend projects.

Well yes, if you've written 1000 lines of Rust, it's certainly trivial. Writing the first 20 lines is an <expletive> though.

Criticizing a language by how easy it is to write the "first 20 lines" doesn't sound really fare...

You don't think beginner's difficulty to use a language is worth criticizing considering a number of bike-shedding changes that are done to the language to make it easy for beginners?
