I was unclear for the sake of brevity. I LOVE Rust, but I regularly get knocked out of the zone by it, which reminds me I’m programming. That is purely due to my lack of experience with it. I suspect if my chops were as good as with some other languages I’d be having more fun but I’m still wrestling with the compiler quite a bit.
Also, my Go environment and editor config are just better, so I need to get my nvim config up to ship shape for Rust.
In summary, skill issue.
I have really enjoyed the small projects I have written in rust but, being in the SRE space, it would be irresponsible and selfish to use anything other than bash, python, or go. It feels like the overwhelming majority of tools I use these days have been written in go.
