Why did you switch from another language to Rust? Do you regret not learning it earlier?

Splint

Tuple-based error returns with manual checking every time? "Generics for me and not for thee" APIs for collections? Structural typing when I already use splint to retrofit newtype-esque type-checking onto typedefs for my Open Watcom C/C++ DOS retro-hobby project? No thanks.

Actix

(I generally make my learning decisions based on what I'd want to use in hobby projects and "a faster Python replacement for network servers" doesn't interest me without a proper replacement for Django's ecosystem. For anything less "needs the nuclear option" and more "I want to make a little CLI app-like thing, but with an HTTP UI", actix-web gives me more compile-time guarantees and less syntax that feels like it's wasting my time.).
