Path dependency has big impact on what seems natural, intuitive, etc. Part of that is what you've done before, and part is first impressions, and part of it is your approach to learning (or the approach taking to teaching you) the subject at hand.
I’ve approached Rust via different books and tutorials before and come up with the “it’s awesome, but too hard” feeling and set it aside.
Recently I've been trying Hands-on Rust [0] and going off to the side from it and Rust is clicking pretty well. Not sure if the book is a better fit for me, if the past false starts have prepared the ground, or what specifically changed.
