Odin or Rust (programming.dev)

I'm currently suffering a dilemma and I’m considering using Odin over Rust.

I was hoping for friendly and positively constructive assessments of which language and why from anyone who wishes to answer?

One of my acquaintances has actually made a small game in Odin (Cat and Onion) and after that written a book about the language (Understanding the Odin Programming Language). I don't know much about Odin myself but from what I've gathered there isn't that much quality documentation or that many good tutorials etc. so it can be a bit hard to get in to the language, which is why he decided to write the book.

I'm reading his book to get up to speed on Odin as we speak

Cat & Odin looks cute. Thanks for letting us know it's written in Onion.
