I'm not totally sold on rust as a language but I have to admit the tooling and ecosystem is really nice. I'm noticing that I'm increasingly using more stuff built with it. I'm also not sold on zig either for many of the same reasons. I prefer my low level languages to be smaller like c. I think that might be true for languages higher level languages too. I just don't like to have to down a lot of documentation on hundreds of different features and concepts behind them.

The tooling/ecosystem looks probably great for developers actively creating with it, but for developers ‘consuming’ it (downloading some foss from github and changing a couple of lines) it leaves a lot to be desired. Not being able to ‘apt install’ a working toolchain on Debian for example - it’s already too outdated after just a year

  That's pretty true of a lot of development tools on Debian.
