The author, seeking a suitable language for writing a native desktop application, after careful consideration, finally chose to try Rust. He eliminated C++ (too complex), C (too low-level), and Go (convenient, but compromises on memory management). TypeScript, while convenient, lacked the "solid" feel of a native program. Ultimately, Rust, with its higher level of abstraction and fine-grained control over memory management, emerged as the best choice to fill the native development gap, despite the author's prior lack of experience with the language.
