I have been working on writing my own OS in rust for the past few months, and the main thing I have had the most difficulty with is Rust itself. The package management is so much better than C, dependencies are easier, and it was honestly easier to get working compared to C++. The fact that they nicely have separated rust core and std so that I don't have to deal with things randomly breaking because of something I haven't implemented. The abstractions that Rust offers I don't feel suffer the same problems as C++ because they are much more straightforward to use and just make sense from an object oriented programming perspective. Rust itself is so inherently different from other a language like C that it takes a long time to truly understanding lifetimes and the borrow checker to the point where you are actually making use of the languages features. The straightforwardness of C is really where it shines, and for me at least Rusts biggest upside is also its biggest downside, because learning to write good Rust is not an easy process.
