I love Rust! I've never done systems programming, and I've just been really enjoying doing new things in it. The community is incredibly friendly, and there's a lot of People Like Me (queer, non-man, etc) actively participating and having a voice in the project, which makes me feel less alone!
Right now, I'm working on a new client for Entropic in Rust, and I've ported cacache, ssri, and srisum over to Rust, just to learn it, and also as backing code for the new Entropic client.
I think the fact that Rust is a systems language adds some necessary complexity, and having to deal with such an intricate type system, and the new borrow checker, means that there's plenty to learn for a plain old JS dev. Once you get over the initial bump, though, Rust gets super fun and interesting to work on! I think Rust is a surprisingly high-level language, considering its systems lang status, and I think it's a great way for JS devs to get into systems dev.
