You must be a hell of a lot smarter than me: I’ve been hacking rust on the side and it’s taking me like 10x as long at least to do fairly simple things. It’s like the crushing burden of choice of C++ paired with the strictness of Haskell. And I’m not sure it’s that much safer than C for low level stuff that requires you to use unsafe anyhow. I’m going to take my kernel project through to programming the MMU, and re-evaluate but it’s slow going man. None of my coworkers would have the patience for this slog.
