Why is Rust difficult?
I'd love if it were able to predict correctness of the program, but it can't (halting problem something). It can only approximate it and to be meaningful, it has to be pessimistic. Which is one more headache to casual developers.

Are you saying that Rust is trying to predict the correctness of the program? Sure, parts like deadlocks and memory use, but the whole thing?
This seems to be a common misconception, maybe from interacting with overzealous Rust fan clubbers.
