I can do business logic, like complex CRUD, in Rust much faster than in other languages. I assume, «lousy programmers» have problems with separation of concerns, which then cause problems with borrow checker, because developers need to perform different things in different ways on different parts of data structures (AKA «god object» anti-pattern).

> separation of concerns

but this would be a problem almost anywhere, no?

This has nothing to do with Rust vs Go vs Ruby or something else. Rust makes this even bigger problem, ok, but I don't think we should call people not using Rust (c\c++ etc) "lousy".

PS: tbh this kind of statements usually (from my experience) come from people who mainly write system level software or work with hardware directly.
