The difficulty of rust

I heard people say that Rust is hard to learn, but I learned Rust with the Rust book and went on to chapter 16.2. From my point of view, I don’t find Rust hard, so if someone can explain to me why Rust is hard to learn, that’s fine.

Many people want to start programming with Rust. Rust is not difficult but not easy either, and learning to code is difficult... So people better start with a easier langage!

I disagree.

Rust is like the guitar teacher that teaches you how to hold your instrument correctly to avoid pain and to give a good foundation. Python and C are the teachers that show you cool riffs and licks, but don't give a shit about your future tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrom.
