I don't want to get grabbed on a side street and beaten but... Rust is language designed to solve a process problem (bad buggy code) with a straitjacket language approach. It is pedantic to the point of being unreadable and in it's own problem domain (system, embedded and up) has been ticking the wrong boxes. Zig is substantially better yet I think a better language is still around the corner. Having said that, you absolutely can't go wrong mastering C. Zig wraps C in a way that doesn't choke you on configuration issues. Zig's out-of-the-box support for many target's is a savvy decision too.

However, both Zig and Rust make some of the same errors so I will put my plea here for future language developers. How you work with Threads, Async, Interrupts are all implementation details. Please don't make them part of the language. A good Function type is sufficient to make elegant solutions that do not require language support.
