Same, I was really hopeful that Rust was going to fill the void of a modern systems language (been following it since around 0.6), but judging by the direction it's been headed the since 1.0, state of libs and the ecosystem, and the general community sentiment, I've kinda lost hope at this point. To quote Carbon's readme, "barriers range from changes in the idiomatic design of software" (emphasis mine).
What took the cake for me though, was a post a couple weeks ago where people were griping about Go's error handling (if err != nil) when Rust is, at best, no better than Go (e.g if you want to add any context to your error), or just objectively worse off (? operator moves all your error handling logic to a separate, completely different part of your code base).
