Feel like everyone’s been telling me it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’m just a hobbyist with like a single big project I’m maintaining but I’m starting to hate the code and idk maybe I should rewrite it in rust. Idk

    I’m going to answer some questions I’m hearing in you question:

    "I’m interested in X, should I learn X?”

    The answer is pretty much always ”yes”, to that question.

    "Is Rust a good/terrible fit for my project?”

    Rust is a solid tool. It’ll probably do fine.

      I mean, there’s a big gotcha on:

      Is Rust a better fit for my project to the point it’s worth starting over?

      and

      Will I like my code better if it’s in Rust?

      That being said, it’s not necessarily a no on either, it just could very well be depending on things not disclosed in OP.
