I've been putting time into Rust. There will always be a need for a C-level language and I think Rust has a strong long-term future. The language as it exists today isn't going to be my all-purpose default but it might be. There are a couple major ergonomic wins coming (trait-based exception handling, impl trait) and a set of first-party language services for IDE support. I think IDE-supported Rust has the potential to be a very productive language, particularly since it's okay without IDE support. Since this is a Swift thread, I will say that I like Swift except for the parts that are clearly there to interact with Objective C. I have no interest in doing apple os interface development but I'll be seeing how it goes as a server development language when the 3.0 preview happens in June. If Rust for all things doesn't work, core Rust + Swift scripting is the planned fallback.
