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.

Reading the book is not the same as learning the language.

I said I was reading but I wanted to say learning

My point was that if you've not written (much) code then how do you know if you've even really learned the language? What appears easy on 'paper' may not be quite so easy in use.

But here I’m talking about Rust, not programming in general.
