I actually think this may work out OK depending on where you do this. Like in some uptight suburb you are probably likely to get arrested or at least get the police called out. However if you are in a city especially if it is one that appreciated quirky weird stuff I think you may actually get a few bites.

Yeah Rust is a fairly low level language like C/C++ which should usually give you similar performance once compiled. The reason Rust was made and had become somewhat popular even before LLMs is the language and compiler are very strict. This means it is much harder to introduce things like memory leaks and concurrency issues. However this also means that it is generally more difficult to work in and learn than C due to needing to work within those restrictions especially when trying to get a new project going. However that does mean if you are going to do most of the coding via LLM tools then those tools are bound by the same strict rules and thus less likely to introduce hard to fix/reproduce memory issues.
