I've tried to learn rust of the longest time but failed, it's not the community that is the problem but the language itself. It is far from aesthetically pleasing, a child of perl and c++ meta template programming that inherited the worst traits of both.

Go and Python are my current preference, and C being an old soul mate.

Maybe try Odin. Based on what I have read, it’s basically C capability-wise with better ergonomics - a simple language; no objects and limited compile time shenanigans.


I'd like to try out Odin and also Inko, which looks like Rust and Go had a baby. https://inko-lang.org


I have often described Zig to people as a middle ground between C and Go. It sounds like you might really enjoy it.
