I seriously doubt changing language would impact a senior that much...

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

Rust is one of the harder languages for beginners to learn because of its borrow checker and strict ownership model, but it shouldn't take more than a month or two for a competent senior to pick up.

It's going to be deeply unpleasant and seem like a problem if:

  • You're writing dangerously bad C or C++ code already.
  • You've only ever used Python or JavaScript.
  • You try to shoehorn OOP and inheritance into it (Rust idioms are composition and functional programming).
  • You refuse to use/learn pattern matching.
  • You're a pedant about "pretty" syntax.

If someone is at a senior level and any of those apply, they probably shouldn't be at a senior level, though.

rust is leans more towards data oriented design than functional programming imo
