"Hard" maybe the wrong word.

Tasks that are simple in most other languages, like a tree that can store many data types, are going to take a lot more code and a lot more thinking to get it to work in rust.

Generics and traits have some rough edges. If I rub up against them, they're really annoying. Otherwise, if I can avoid those then I agree with you that rust is smooth, and the trade off is worth it.
