My feeling is that Rust (and/or Go) will probably supplant Java (and/or C#) in the coming age, just on the basis of the user experience alone. This past week I wasted several hours trying, and failing, to get a simple Java app up and running. Rust (and Go) have such a better end user experience that I can't see them not winning. Firing up a single executable is miles better than installing a run time, then tweaking the config to make it work, then trying to find out where it stores log files, then tweaking it again when it fills up memory, etc. Give me a single, self contained, executable any day!
