It's nice to see comments that actually talk about unionizing.

Kudos to you, for working on the stuff that you really like. These toy projects could teach us or the people that see them, a lot of stuff.
"Senior Developers" doesn't mean that they will relate to everything related to software development. Either, they stick to the domain they work on or, to the ones that makes money.
Personally, I've always been fascinated with systems programming, thought I'm not much proficient or put in much effort. Whether something is going to make money or not, like many personal stuff we do (art for example), isn't eventually going to make us money, rather it gives us a sense of satisfaction.
While I generally understand the borrow checker and lifetime. It proves challenging based on the kind of programs I write or while looking at source of any crate that I use.
I knew Rust has very steep learning curve, but I try to overcome that urge to quit.
I'm not going to say that I'm productive, as I'm at the learning phase.
If I really wanted to write something in a shor time, like in an afternoon, Python is always my goto.

Well said!
