I've been casually playing with Rust for a few years now. Wrote a few small things in my previous job that still run a large part of their business, which is pretty satisfying, but only very recently have I found a couple of hobby projects where it just feels like the right tool for the job (for me). Web stuff I'd still much rather write in Ruby, if I'm honest, but for playing around on systems Rust is super fun. I ended up making https://git.sr.ht/~robotmay/amdgpu-fancontrol https://git.sr.ht/~robotmay/amdgpu-fancontrol, of which there's already an equivalent in Python, but the lack of dependencies when installing a piece of Rust software makes it feel very portable and neat. My favourite metaphor for Rust is that it's like a friendly bare-knuckle fist-fight with the compiler. It's not as user-friendly as, say, Elm, but it's streets ahead of Haskell's errors.
