There was something Julia Evans said at the end that really struck me as the key to Rust (I can't quote it) The language gives you the security to try something new, convinces you that a mere mortal (as opposed to a C expert) can write systems level programs without fear. This is an amazing feature of the language. It's democratizing what used to be exclusive to a low level community.
