I started a coding class at school because my 8yo preferred learning with friends.

I made a website for parents to see, at http://rustycc.com.au/whyrust for more details of why I chose Rust.

I used Rust, partially because like you, I started with C at an early age, courtesy of my Academic father, who placed me in front of a Unix mainframe at the Uni "babysitting", and older children taught me.

To make it fun, I developed multiplayer games, and children program the actions of a robot avatar, so they have their character, and robot in the games. I also used it to teach mathematics.
