I need actual usable patterns and stuff that gets things done

Definitely, I think a lot of languages neglect the examples beyond the "here's how you use the syntax" ones - ideally there should be some complete projects too, so you can get a vibe of what it's like to actually develop something substantial.

I totally understand your frustration with Rust from time to time - it's one of those languages where everything's wonderful when things are working well, but then you have those days where you end up in borrowcheck hell and nothing seems to work and you want to throw your computer out of the window. I think Rust could use some more documentation for the latter case.
