So what has come to my mind recently is this:
#Rust has a lot of new concepts that are not found in other mainstream languages. On the one hand, it is great, because these concepts are really great and make a lot of sense.
But there is also another aspect to it - which is #curiosity.
These new concepts make you curious! You want to learn more and more about it until you reach #flow state and eventually mastery.
So Rust is actually laid out to be mastered, not just known, which makes everything better.
@janriemer the point it clicked in me was after looking some of the live coding videos online to see how other (more experienced) devs are acting on the #rust compiler messages, and how to make best use of available traits as well as commonly used crates.
@appelgriebsch Ah, interesting to hear your experience - I can highly relate. Learning from others really helps a lot.🙂
For me it is also reading Q&A's on users.rust-lang.org.
When you really immerse yourself in the language a web forms in your mind, which gets tighter and more fine-grained, so things start to hit this web more often, which result in more and more "aha" moments.
Just beautiful!✨
