I thought I was reading my own story! same here... 10 years of Scala 2.xx till it was Scala 3 that caused my withdrawal, and that infinite waiting for scala-native... killed my interest. Now, and for the foreseeable future, it is Rust.

I had a look at Mojo, love it, but I am no longer interested in OO (used OO for 20+ years and I figured I am no more interested).

EDIT: even John DeGoes (the ZIO guy) left Scala for similar reasons, now I just remembered, and prefers Rust over it... I love what they are doing with their Golem Cloud.

I would argue that John left due to political reasons mostly, and honestly, for good.
True, but his article (https://degoes.net/articles/splendid-scala-journey) states it is also for Scala new syntax breaking a lot of things (if I remember correctly, been a a while since I read it) and for other reasons. I also thought it was for political reasons before until I read that article back in time.
Jon DeGoes still works on the ZIO ecosystem along with his Rust projects.
True, I never implied otherwise. When I commented, I was referring to things he said in his article: https://degoes.net/articles/splendid-scala-journey
