I have deviated away from both Go and Rust. Some people in this thread have recommended the Zig programming language and it looks very promising. Right now I'm experimenting with that.

This is so awesome, thanks for sharing it. I'm going to love checking out the video and the source code!

One similar thing I know about is a Rust port of the Netsurf browser [1] to Redox OS [2] an OS written in Rust. But this is even better!
