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.

I recently picked up embedded in Rust and I often stumble upon the pattern of taking buffer references into structures, and I would want to pack the buffer and the struct that uses it together, but I don't want to do self referential magic, so for now I keep buffers passed around everywhere

    Yeah. That's a huge issue rust has. However, it can't be solved with Rc.

    You either do it in safe rust, by "cheating" the borrow checker and storing a size offset of the buffer instead of a reference. Or just use unsafe rust and store a raw pointer alongside the buffer.
