Now I feel the sudden urge to hold a lecture about why Rust is a horrible language and nobody should ever use it. Arguably, it is a very fast language, but the syntax hurts my brain.

I'd suggest you check out Zig. It's like a more modern C, if you like those kind of low-level fast languages. Some of the syntax is inspired by Rust, but it looks so much nicer imo.
