The issue is, imo, rust is a big pain to write. It’s really nice when someone else has created all the abstractions for you. It’s fairly easy and fun to discover features of crates thanks to the type system. But to actually build out those low level abstractions yourself is cumbersome and not very fun. It’s easy to type system yourself in a corner. You even lose the whole big selling point of rust when you use `unsafe`. There was an article a while ago comparing zig and rust and it had a good quote that went something like “Rust is for programming in the large, and zig is for programming in the small” And I think what you’re looking for is programming in the small. Small, focused, programs with minimal dependencies.
