I don't care for this assumption that people who struggle with a programming language are so inexperienced anything they struggle with is their fault. It might be the case that Rust will always be an advanced language that beginners should avoid until they've mastered something else, but feedback from beginners could still make the experience easier for programmers who take the ideal path and learn it as their second or later programming language.

The other reason I dislike this assumption is that it's frequently wrong. Judging by the rest of his blog, the author does grok SQL. I'm pretty sure the Python to SQL example is either hypothetical or describes the author when he first learned SQL well in the past.

I don't mean to pick on you. I just see this attitude repeatedly in software development, and it leads to unnecessarily difficult software.
