For balance I’d like to say that I found Rust obnoxious. I can see the advantage if you are developing commercial grade drivers or an OS kernel, but otherwise lifetimes and the borrow checker only ever prevent me from doing things I can trivially see are safe, which is annoying.

I’m sure this will piss people off but it’s my experience.

same experience here. I already know my program is safe and I don't like wasting time having to prove it to the compiler
