This fully hits what I experienced.
I'm using Rust since ~2 months. At the beginning I was trying to write my usual C/C++ code and I got completely entangled with lifetimes relationships and the code ended up becoming a mess.
Nowadays as soon as the compiler starts mentioning lifetimes I see that as a warning => I then take a step back and change approach/design => no problems.
I use a little bit of async (I create dedicated variables that are moved to the async functions) and classic multithreading (I use "mpsc" to exchange data between the main & subthreads) and so far I never had a single segfault nor any kind of weird behaviour, which is incredible if compared to some other languages at least for my programming skills :)
