It's not necessary to learn C, C++, or assembly but, if you do want to, try hobby programming for MS-DOS (eg. inside DOSBox or DOSBox-X) since it's simpler and will give you a niche where what you produce can still be a case of "best tool for the job". (eg. Open Watcom C/C++ for the compiler, using snippets of assembly for FFI calls to BIOS APIs, etc.)

Alternatively, if you want to work in pure assembly, Michael Abrash's Zen of Assembly Language: Volume I, Knowledge and Graphics Programming Black Book were released for free after real-mode DOS programming became obsolete.

Once you have a bit of practice with the language, don't be afraid to use something like PyO3 to write your backend in Rust and your frontend in something like PyQt/PySide. There are still holes in Rust's ecosystem.
I don't know about infinite recursion and can't even find documentation specifically for infinite loops (damn). But this issue suggests that infinite loops are defined behaviour in Rust. As they should be, UB without unsafe is a big no-no. There is a similar issue for infinite recursion.
