Yep, totally get where you're coming from. Many people, myself included, have had a similar experience starting out. To push through the learning curve, you need a strong motivation--whether it's because you have to use the language, you're drawn to the benefits of the type system and safety features, or something else specific to you. If you don't have that kind of motivation, it's totally fine. I didn't at first either, which is why my early attempts to learn the language didn't go far. Like many others, I found that it does take longer to get things done in Rust compared to languages like Java or Python. There's just more upfront thinking required. That's valuable in certain situations, but if you're not clear on why you'd make that tradeoff, there's no strong reason to keep going.
