Rust isn't hard just for fun. It's hard because the code you've been writing for so long is actually bad and you've not been thinking it through appropriately. This is why we keep finding serious bugs in code that is decades-old, despite the belief that code so old must be well-tested by now.
I'm sure of one thing: we will find many and different bugs in decades old rust code one day, too. The problem with software is that it has code in it ;-)
I believe the tradeoff for this in Rust’s niche is absolutely acceptable, but it is still a tradeoff and might not be the correct choice in certain cases.
Sometimes Rust makes things hard because the invariants you want to express cannot be cleanly mapped onto Rust's type system. I described one such case here: https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/12/19/arenas-and-rust.html
