> Rust is easy to learn. For seasoned C++ programmers, Rust is easy to learn. When they first start out, Rust learners usually spend most of their time making sense of ownership and lifetime. Even if they don't explicitly express these concepts in code, experienced C++ engineers always keep these two concepts in mind when programming in C++. Finally somebody understands this.
I was happy to see this as well. As a 'seasoned' C++ dev myself, when I learned Rust, I was pleasantly surprised to see those implicit concepts made explicit in code.
Same. I think that I didn't go through the Rc phase that so many new to Rust go through because of C++ teaching me the same lessons in a much more brutal way. By the time I got to Rust I had learned to structure my code to sort of use pointers/references as capabilities, such that simply having knowledge of the bit pattern of the pointer was implicit access through that pointer since as a codebase evolves someone will keep pointers around or not go through.whatever song and dance you need to do to keep accesses through that pointer valid. That thought process translates very well to Rust.
