I really want to learn and use Rust, but just lack the motivation, especially when APIs turn out to be incomplete - I think the last one I saw was multicast not allowing me to set the send interface. I guess the main draw for me to any given language is great libraries with great APIs. Python has those, Javascript has those, C++ has those, Rust... not so much yet.

Well... what makes (especially) Rust libraries great is the relative absence of bugs. I can use a Rust library and have great confidence some ugly bug won't bite me later on. The developers of the libraries you (don't) mention continuously struggle to achieve the same property. So in a sense those libs are not at all great in the same sense that a Rust library is!
