I'm not, I find the entire Rust language to be very unreadable.

I have seen a lot of templating languages like the one in Dioxus but I don't think you will "win" the hearts of people with a templating like this:

``` rsx! { footer { class: "footer", span { class: "todo-count", strong { "{active_todo_count} " } span { match active_todo_count() { 1 => "item", _ => "items", } " left" } } ```

Even if I can read it, it's much more of a hassle since I have to translate this into actual html in my brain. Why would I pick this over regular jsx with React? Sure crossplatform is cool, but I already do crossplatform since I only do web dev like most people nowadays.

Maybe I'm not the target customer here, but I have a hard time finding a reason why I should pick something that is much more complex. Speed sure but the gains are not good enough to warrant learning this and if I was a betting man I would bet against it in it's current form due to the learning curve. Also I worry about the financing sine I've read that you guys are taking in VC. Obviously there is some kind of plan in order to make money in the future and I wonder what rug-pull will happen.

The thing is, I have been looking on Rust due to the performance and the potential in wasm (I do very client heavy apps that would benefit from it). But I really don't like the language or the community so I'm basically waiting for other languages to keep up.

When I go in on a technology, I want to master it. So it will require a lot of learning and time investment for me which is my most precious resource and not something I will throw away lightly.
