Rust as a language is mostly alright in my opinion. The problems I have with it are similar to the problems I have with C++, and it makes up for them in other really compelling ways.
Where it loses me is Cargo and everything surrounding it. I'm essentially forced into an extreme where I just never use anything in the Rust ecosystem, or I have to deal with insane dependency graphs that have the density and microstate complexity of a neutron star.
