> I think people who say this haven't gotten much experience in rust. In my experience they spent a week trying to learn rust and decided to stop and compare it to their years of other languages and paradigms.

I have written Rust for around 6 years now.

That doesn't say much about experience. Ive written ruby at a rate of a few dozen lines/year, for the 20 years.

I guess I could say I've written ruby for 20 years... But someone full-time in ruby for only a year would likely be significantly better at the language than I am (i am bad at it).
