Can you please give an example of that? Rust is very much advertised as a systems programming language. Can't really blame people for using it and going "oh it's harder than go and python"...

From wikipedia:

> Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.
