Personally trying to learn more Rust programming, but awesome to see the cadence of their releases. What's been your experience with Rust development?

I gave Rust a shot as part of my move away from Electron and into Tauri. Man, the learning curve is brutal; the language and syntax isn't too bad honestly, but the borrow checker? Ugh, it's like my mum complaining at me back when I was a kid to clean my room all the damn time.

It gets easier as you stumble and look up stack overflow posts over and over, but it's definitely a challenge. That being said, if you stick with it, Rust almost guarantees that your app will never crash, so I'm a big fan.

My favorite part of Rust is that if it compiles and passes the borrow checker. Like you said, it's almost guaranteed to work like you expect it to. Exceptions being potential panics and logic errors.
