Interestingly, I started a side project to rebuild OneTimeSecret in Rust yesterday and got the basics working already https://github.com/likeabbas/RustOneTimeSecret

The only other exposure I had to the language was attempting some Leetcode problems. I really like Rust so far. The type system is extremely powerful, the compiler gives robust error messages, and it has so many awesome features like pattern matching and destructuring.

Doubtful. I may have wanted to like Rust more than you when giving it a shot.

I've written a lot of Java and Go but I never enjoyed writing in those languages. I found functional programming languages in college to be very fun, and Rust is giving me that same feeling.
