Right!? I know more than a dozen programming languages, but all of them left so much wanting; Rust is truly the only language that left me in awe of its' brilliance. Lately I've been porting all of my NodeJS work over to Rust and I foresee it as being the sole backend language that I write in going forward. It's super empowering all you can do it with it: so far I've used it for GraphQL API development, lamda functions (13mb peak RAM, <5ms response from cold start mindblown), Redis Native Module development, EOS smart contacts, Holochain DAPPs, extending Postgres, creating NodeJS modules via WASM-bindgen and I feel like I'm only really scratching the surface here. I'm not sure how well you know Redis, but doing redis native modules via github.com/RedisLabsModules/redism... is actually a complete game changer and is applicable for so many use cases. I've never been so excited by a language

It's all closed source. I don't do open source projects on the side anymore; instead I build companies, solo-author apps, and patent new inventions. Right now my most pressing priority is stopping coronavirus, and everything else takes lesser priority. This project I've been financing & working on with my dad for the past 7 years and we're trying to get this onto the market ASAP: youtube.com/watch?v=MuHWW-25mBw
