I've been trying to learn Rust myself by spending ~30 mins everyday on on it for the past 2 months. It's strange how simple it is to make something, but it's hard if you have no experience in functional programming.
I can relate to your pain. I came back to hardcore Scala, 2 years after a very quick introduction to functional programming. But, in the end, every seconds of head banging was absolutely worth it. Once you step into The Immutable Functional World, it will change the way you design software and there is no coming back :)
