I don't care for this assumption that people who struggle with a programming language are so inexperienced anything they struggle with is their fault. It might be the case that Rust will always be an advanced language that beginners should avoid until they've mastered something else, but feedback from beginners could still make the experience easier for programmers who take the ideal path and learn it as their second or later programming language.
The other reason I dislike this assumption is that it's frequently wrong. Judging by the rest of his blog, the author does grok SQL. I'm pretty sure the Python to SQL example is either hypothetical or describes the author when he first learned SQL well in the past.
I don't mean to pick on you. I just see this attitude repeatedly in software development, and it leads to unnecessarily difficult software.
Your comment stated that going from Python to Rust while struggling with SQL is something "you just should not do". That implies that the struggles they describe are the result of trying to learn Rust before they're ready—an attitude I disagree with, even if it were true that the author was struggling with SQL.
I stand by "anything"—your post didn't make any exceptions. I should have been clearer that I was referring to an attitude your comment implied rather than an attitude you have, though, and for that I apologize.
