I'm not talking about building I'm talking about programming. I defiantly agree rust has some very nice tooling but the language itself has quite a steep learning curve that isn't kind to newcomers.
both C and Rust have learning curves that get steep after the initial trivial stuff
with C as soon as you're in array/string/pointer land, you're in a world of seg faults
you can get so much more done as a beginner in Rust before you get anywhere near dealing with ownership or creating advanced generics
