If you know C well already, there is nowhere to go deeper systems-wise, apart from assembly. Maybe you mean higher as in more abstract? Rust is pretty abstract compared to C. Zig not so much by design. If you want to try something else entirely paradigm-wise, maybe something like Haskell could be interesting to you, or if type systems interest you, TypeScript's is quite sophisticated.

If you want to learn systems programming, I can recommend learning C. If you want to learn a programming language which allows systems programming, I guess Rust is not a bad choice. But it might be less helpful if the systems basics are unknown.

AI is like an instrument which can be played in various ways, different styles and intensities.

One might say it's spec strumming.

What is "level of quality"? Doesn't this apply to any product?

How is such a product decision even possible? Genuinely curious.

Perfectly working drivers.

As a power user, I want to use, not to fix, my tools.

I might tinker sometimes, but that is unrelated for me.

Imports are needed and important, not "bad". Most countries import goods. Why? Because not everyone produces everything. That is how society started and still works today.

There is no giving (or taking).

I think std::rvalue would be the least confusing name.

I'm convinced naming things is equivalent to choosing the right abstraction, and caching things is creating a correct "view" from given normalized data.
