I agree that Rust is opinionated and complex. But most of the other widely-supported programming languages (that I use) for low-level and embedded development are also opinionated and complex: C++ and Ada. C is obviously not as complex, but it that is because it offers so much less. Depending on what is needed, C may be a great choice, but it generally means bringing or creating a bunch of library code for string-handling, data structures, etc.

Depending on what is needed, C may be a great choice, but it generally means bringing or creating a bunch of library code for string-handling, data structures, etc. Yes, water is wet. I think that Rust is a great alternative to C++, but I wasn't using C++, either. Part of what makes C good and desirable for those of us that use it is that very simplicity which Rust eschews.
