If there's one problem with rust, it's that it expects you to know how to use it.

One of my first projects was to try and use the SDL2 crate to make something, and I got stuck wrangling the borrow checker about how long my textures live.

I try again a year later, now knowing intuitively how the lifetime system works, and I come up with a solution easily.

This sort of thing is probably very discouraging to new users of the language

Where do I find a host for non-web applications?

*Begins a java project in IntelliJ*
*Puts it on git without committing .idea folder*
*Suddenly finds out 26 libraries are needed so adds maven*
*Collaborators don't like maven*
*Battle on git between package names com.company.project and main.java.com.company.project*
