The author reflects on their experience with Rust, a programming language that made them question their love for abstractions.
Initially taught that abstractions help in managing complexity in coding, the author found Rust challenging with its emphasis on lifetimes, generics, and compiler errors.
Rust transformed the author's view on abstractions from being a source of joy to feeling burdensome and complicated.
The journey with Rust made the author shift from adoring abstractions to becoming skeptical about their utility.
