Conversation with friend that knows rust:

M: How do you expect people to learn rust? It’s so freakin’ broken.

F: What do you mean “broken”? Why?

M: Half of the time I’m trying to even build the bloody thing I run into stupid issues.

F: Well, you must be doing something wrong, show me an example.

M: Here you go:

F: What the fuck

M: Yeah, you know what… I think I’m just gonna stick with C for now
