   Rust is probably not for me but i think its something i can play around with whenever i feel like i need its safety guards.
   
   The syntax confuses me and puts me off a bit, i guess its just matter of getting used to it. I just dont like declaring variable name before type, it "reads wrong" in my head. Then theres bazillion new symbols i have to use, like '_ (couldnt this have been like two letters or something???)
   
   But yeah, back to C for me, for now.
   
   Still need to test drive Hare and C3.

     And i gotta admit the rust community has put me off quite badly so this was really difficult for me to start
     
     Going "why not use rust" for every project ever to exist is just not something i want to associate myself

     People do say programming languages are just tools and the community shouldnt matter.
     
     Pragmatic viewpoint i can agree with.
     
     But the truth is, we are social animals. Communities *will* affect my opinion on things they gather around, even if i dont want.
     
     And in programming, knowledge sharing and such is very important. When starting out, one may wish to join a community around The Thing.
     
     If that community makes me feel ashamed about being associated with it, i'll rather avoid it.
     
     The social aspect around tools is real thing, which is easy to dismiss but pragmatism can only do so much for our emotions and how we perceive things.
