I'm slowly developing the opinion that all developer tooling should be made in Rust, which is a problem because I love building dev tools and I hardly know Rust lol

From my little experience and from what others have said, Rust actually has a pretty good DX if you're building system programs. It's flexible enough to do CLIs, servers, or something lower level like zk proofs. However it does start to get hairy when you go async, and you're probably better of using Go. Its pretty insane what developer tooling has been built with Rust though. Zed.dev actually built a UI framework called GPUI written in Rust, and loads of my terminal apps like nushell, fnm, etc. are also in Rust. Just seems like it's becoming more popular for those types of applications.
