I'm not so sure. I program in C for a living (embedded, for almost 20 years) and believe me that I tried learning Rust, but when I see something like:
_dev: Pin<Box<Registration<Ref<Semaphore>>>>
I cannot even image the knowledge code like that might require, its implication, the result, the reason why it was written like that. It's confuse. It's seems like something a trying to workaround a language limitation. Not nice at all.
