Yeah. I prefer rust but I defiantly had a far easier time learning c and apply my existing programming knowledge. Getting my head around the borrow checker was one hell of a pain in the ass.
The thing is that “learning C” means “I can write C code that compiles and might be full of bugs”, whereas “learning Rust” means “I can write Rust code that compiles and has a small number of bugs”. It’s not apples-to-apples.
It’s like saying “I found it easier to learn primary school maths than I did to learn a physics degree”.

What specifically was difficult to understand about the borrow checker? Much of what the borrow checker requires you to do are things that you still need to do in C just without compiler support.
Have you used both languages before?
