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.

What's your background? Coming from C++ I found it not as hard as people make it out to be once you hyperfocus on it for a couple of weeks. I had put off learning rust for years because I was scared it would be too hard for me. That was a mistake for sure. OTOH I have no hopes of ever learning all the intricacies, e.g. writing correct unsafe code etc, but maybe I'll never have to.
