rust is quite annoying

skill issue

and is only useful in very specific circumstances

huh? about the only place I can't use rust is on microcontrollers, and it's kind of a pain in the dick on mobile (just use kotlin lol)

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. For application code, it's almost always better to use a language with garbage collection, in order to get memory safety without undue ceremony. Yes, some gc-ed languages are slow (Python, Ruby), but others are quite fast (JVM, .NET, Common Lisp, Haskell).
