Good analysis! Thanks.

For context, I was using Rust for hobbyist stuff because I value provable correctness and I love tools to yell at me if I try doing something stupid. But Rust moved too fast for me. Every time I sat down to use it, I spent more time catching up on the developments I'd missed than actually being productive.

I'm choosing instead to learn how to write C in a modern, sustainable way since at least the ecosystem won't shift from under me any time soon.

To be completely clear, I don't hate Rust. I'm not ragging on it. If I used it in my day job, the experience of keeping up with it would be a totally different story. But for hobby and personal stuff, I need something where I can be productive whenever I find the time to devote to it.
