easier to learn as of now.. but look below ( or other rust threads) and see how people that want to jump into rust ( from c++ for example) always ask about X feature missing and when is going to be added...
C++ has fucked up expectations people have from language evolution. Don't project C++'s mistakes on Rust.
For Rust the evolution is users asking "Why is doing X so hard?" and the Rust team saying "OK, we'll see how we can make X easier".
Rust has been adding features for 30 releases now, and every new release has been easier to use and easier to learn.
