Is Rust supposed to be that hard? (lemmy.today)

I decided to adventure myself in Tauri development for a personal project, I read the entire Rust official book and followed the exercises. When I first started developing it was like if nothing I learned helped for real life projects.

Now after getting betting up every single time I touch my project, it seems I'm catching things slowly.

But I've never seen such a hard modern language, I used C and C++ before and it's incomparable.

Do you really need that much Rc? That is, do you really need multiple ownership for a piece of data in a single thread? It is rarely the case, many times you can get away by just borrowing that data.

ARc is harder to avoid, since across threads you often really need the multiple ownership.

Next is, do you need RefCell? Or would a simple Cell in some of the struct fields be enough?
