Is Rust supposed to be that hard? (lemmy.today)

I decided to adventure myself in Tauri development for a personal project, I read the entire Rust official book and followed the exercises. When I first started developing it was like if nothing I learned helped for real life projects.

Now after getting betting up every single time I touch my project, it seems I'm catching things slowly.

But I've never seen such a hard modern language, I used C and C++ before and it's incomparable.

No idea about Tauri but I did find when learning Rust that unlike some other languages (e.g. C++) just reading a book wasn't really enough. You need to experience it and hit real errors.

Kind of like how you can't learn to ride a bike by reading a book.

But as others have said, I would recommend a project with only simple dependencies and no async. Rust async mildly sucks.
