Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Rust

Foreword

Rust is not an easy language to learn. Ask why, and you'll hear that Rust was designed to solve almost any complex problem in system programming, a complicated domain to begin with. It was designed to do it safely, to be incredibly fast, and be very strict; "ease of use" is a necessary sacrifice. Rust reads like any other imperative language, but it incorporates a number of special concepts that ask you to think through your problems in greater depth and with a different spin than you're used to. It's brutally honest about the complicated parts a system language has to address.

Those are the typical reasons cited for why Rust is hard. The more honest answer is that those people may not have the right teacher.
