Deeply subjective take: #Rust is my anti-language. I find it absolute terrible to look at, let alone write. Which means I'm never going to build anything good with it, because to build something good, it is imperative that I enjoy the process, and that is simply never going to happen with a language as terrifyingly ugly as Rust. I'm sorry, #Bevy, you're good, but I'm noping out.

@hmans I have to agree with the take, except that for certain domains there's C++, C, and maybe Zig. Even with 20+ years of C++ experience, I currently would prefer Rust for any sort of green-field project where C++ would be the historically best choice.

I realize this is faint praise, but oh well, how it looks is based on the taste of the early rust language developers in 2010-2015. There's no accounting for taste. Other things about the language and tooling make it preferable.
