Thank you! It’s all good, I just hadn’t heard that before and was curious how it was figured out! The Rust Project has long acknowledged that Rust is tough to learn. That’s why I got to have a job back then! And there’s still new good work going on in that space. I don’t think the nut has been fully cracked yet.

Is there anything there someone like me (ie. having difficulty with Rust) might usefully contribute to? I'm a little overwhelmed right now trying to keep a roof over my head, but am compiling a list of things I might like to help with when the current storm has passed.

I don't know what's good to help with and what isn't, because I haven't been involved with Rust development for a pretty long time at this point.
Personally I think contributions work best when you're trying to solve a pain that you personally have or at least have some sort of connection to, so I'd encourage you to consider what/how/why you struggled to learn, and then try to fix that. I know it's vague, but it's the best I've got right now!
