Interesting article, I've been hearing about Rust for a while but have never gotten around to trying to learn it yet.

I completely relate with wanting better safety in the programming languages I use. For me, it wasn't so much that I lost the "thrill" of hacking, but more that I started feeling more and more uncomfortable with the lack of types existent in scripting languages like Python and JS. As a web developer, I've completely converted to TypeScript and haven't looked back. It's a steeper learning curve than regular JS, but the safety it provides is more than worth it.
