Odin or Rust (programming.dev)

I'm currently suffering a dilemma and I’m considering using Odin over Rust.

I was hoping for friendly and positively constructive assessments of which language and why from anyone who wishes to answer?

TLDR; I chose Rust. Thanks.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to update everyone on the result of my deliberating on Odin, Zig and Rust.

After a long time thinking it over. It has become clear that to me in personal opinion that Rust will be the best choice.

Both in terms of the compiler keeping me a solo dev producing correct code. Without the requirement for a Quality Assurance team. And also i know it really well and languages such as Odin and Zig are fantastic and I am advising my son to learn game-dev with Odin.

However, ultimately for producing quality reliable machine code. I feel that Rust is a better choice than Odin or Zig.

Thanks to everyone who commented and helped me find the decision i was looking for <3
