Rust is good. Great tooling: Libraries can be written, published and used quickly. Code can be easily rebuilt on upcoming Rust versions without uninstalling anything. Integrated testing and documentation generation. Cross-compilation. Truly cross-platform. As an example, Rust even supports both GNU and MSVC targets on Windows, that means Rust libraries can be linked into the C++ projects compiled with MINGW or MSVC. All the standard library features are cross-platform, unless namespaced otherwise. Rust linear type system requires variables be either uniquely mutable or immutable, but not both. This solves whole class of resource management problems (memory being the most important) in the simplest possible way. This compile-time guarantee also works for all references to data, which become thin pointers at runtime. This, together with Send-able and Sync-able types, also ensures no data races. Language is up-to-date. No-nulls, pattern matching, closures, generics, attributes will feel familiar to programmers coming from various languages. Language had many iterations and changes, and every bit of it was designed with care. Right now it may be a bit explicit, but sugar can always be added later if it appears worth it. Stable release cycle, stability guarantee. We know when new beta will be renamed to stable and we know what's in it! That means there is time to check all ecosystem for possible breakage, even though historically Rust introduced hardly any breaking changes since 1.0 a year ago.
