Rust

Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency. It enforces memory safety—meaning that all references point to valid memory—without a garbage collector.

Not fun to play with. Very hard to use. Community is mean and strange.

It's REALLY fun for me. Hard to learn, sure, but not use. Once you learn it - using it is extremely satisfying. I don't think the community is mean nor strange, I don't know what interactions you had, but I would argue it's the opposite.

Not the go-to language for beginners, but very well thought. The compiler prevent you from writing code you will regret later.
