What is really annoying with thiserror is the wizard refusal to give us an easy way to print the error chain. No I dont want to convert it to anyhow just to print the error...





Rust is full of these, I’ve found the community simply falls back on user error to understand rust when vexed by in my opinion basic software operations.

As someone who works extensively in cpp/java/python. I want so much to love rust, but unfortunately I haven’t found it to be productive after 6+ side projects.


Rust's community is slightly more fragmented than it should be. The community being built while the language was changing so dramatically (e.g. async) didn't help, but it also is part of what lead to Rust in the first place.

But it's still somewhat young, lots of stuff is being built. So some of the lack of productivity probably just comes from not knowing the right stacks yet.


It’s young, but my experience has been that developer ergonomics is not a focus, to the extent that c++ has a much stronger devex story.

same here.
