    I also imagine it’s going to become gradually harder to find maintainers, because a lot of new devs grow up in the cushioned environment of Java and just don’t want to learn a language where you have to think a lot to even just use the language correctly.

    Rust is those cushions for low-level languages and as such a new dev, I’ve really just flung myself at Rust, because I’ve wanted to play around with lower-level stuff, but always shied away from C.

      Good point. This was also true for me, I’m only getting more into C now after spending almost 3 years learning lower-level stuff with Rust.
