And many of us have.</p><p>But you actually asked two questions. The first question is about the ergonomics. But the second is really about how people behave, and in the case of PL, I think that is mostly driven by emotion, not by objective means.</p>

Even I don&#39;t know how to formulate a question that would find useful answers.</p>

I&#39;m still very early on in learning Rust but I think I agree about the ownership design sense. That&#39;s essential for the sorts of C++ systems I&#39;ve worked on (high performance servers; databases and load balancers).</p><p>Of course Rust enforces that you do it in one particular way. And the Copy trait makes the syntax very confusing, at least for me so far. Hard to tell when a value is moved vs copied.<br /><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://recurse.social/@shapr" class="u-url mention">@<span>shapr</span></a></span></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://recurse.social/@shapr" class="u-url mention">@<span>shapr</span></a></span> One thing that helped things click for me was to develop a much stronger design sense around ownership. Coming from Python, it&#39;s really easy to be sloppy in one&#39;s thinking about that (because of garbage collection). Over time, I find myself using clone() less-and-less though. So, maybe it&#39;s just practice.</p>

<p>I&#39;ve struggled to find a decent <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cricket" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cricket</span></a> podcast, and finally found a *great* one: &quot;The Analyst Inside Cricket&quot; by Simon Hughes and Simon Mann. Excellent stuff, and really good listening. I&#39;ve actually started to go through several back issues starting from 2017. Check it out!</p>
