Well I didn't see another way to gloss your question:
> would it really be too expensive to invest some time to learn it?
I'm entirely happy to take your word that I've misinterpreted the question. Back-and-forth in comments about intended meaning is rarely useful. So my apologies.
But the general attitude in the Rust community (of which I have no idea whether or not you're a part) absolutely is "Rust is not hard, and if you find it so, that's a measure of your dysfunction, not a description of the language".
The context for that question is important: OP had a set of requirements and Rust seemed to meet them. I’d personally consider investing time to learn technology X if I found out it met my requirements. This is not a Rust-specific thing.
I agree that Rust is not simple to learn. There is a definite learning curve involved, especially at the start. I hope your experience with the community and the language improves going forward.
