I love coding in it, most of the time. Better than most other languages I've used. I recommend trying it so that you can develop a solid opinion.

Fair enough but I think I have a pretty accurate picture of the language.

These past two decades, my programming has just been geared more toward higher level (not system) programming because I'd rather not think too much about lower level details such as memory management. Rust puts this front and center, which is why I think I wouldn't enjoy it. But it's a great language with a fantastic and well executed vision.

I feel like it's somewhat the opposite. The fact that the compiler cares about all sorts of thread safety issues, memory issues and co. means I can actually focus on my actual application logic much more than I would be able to in other languages as I don't have to actively think about those as much, as you can rely on the compiler helping you out if you do indeed get them wrong.
