All the pages about it at this link and at its project page give me zero help in figuring out if it's something I want to use, because none of the pages show an

  Its something you want if you need a systems programming language that does safety and concurrency well. At the unveiling yesterday, Graydon (the author) said he deliberately has spent no time making syntax nice, and refused to discuss syntax until a much later date to avoid bikeshedding. As a result, its not very pretty code but you can't judge it on that.

  Actually the fact that they've shown a great deal of restraint with respect to features, but without that necessarily being a symptom of paradigm-fascism is rather promising to my mind. If you really think this language is representative of feature dumping, boy do I have a few languages to show you. The emphasis on multi-paradigm in the docs has less to do with ZOMG FEATURES and more with the restraint lack of force applied to the programmer in terms of style. I think it would behoove you to look through the source before accusing them of featureitis.

  Be careful not to ascribe your own narrative onto this. They're not calling you to the site because they want you to use it or buy into it. It's a progress report / unveiling of an experimental project. The primary author (Graydon Hoare) is IMO a frickin' genius, but even so he is at pains to reduce expectations for Rust at this time. So, go easy on Rust for now.
