Rust has many warts. Its feature-set does appear less cohesive and consistent when compared to some languages (C# comes to mind). There are countless other problems mainly due to its youth. Then there's the borrow checker. So feeling negative emotions is almost a rite of passage for a Rust beginner. I don't want to belittle your feelings, but in my experience once you get past this initial despair and when you get to coding for production instead of doing toy programs is when you come to appreciate what a life saver and how brilliant this language is. This is because Rust's strengths which far outweigh its faults unfortunately become apparent only when you've done any real-world work in it. And that'll perhaps forever be Rust's curse.
