I'm currently working as a web dev and slowly gaining interest in Rust as I see it as a contender for C/C++/Java/C# and other established languages. When I started about 10 years ago I was convinced that browser ecosystem will be respectable due to it's cross-platform and flexible nature. At this stage of my career I'm looking for a solid 2nd choice and so far I see Rust as an emerging power. Also I have prejudice about Microsoft, I dislike OOP, I think of C++ as too complicated, C is king of embedded but I'm not looking at that direction, so for me it crosses out some of the more popular options. TypeScript is a good reason to look in the direction of web dev, everything else is up to discussion as it also depends in what field one is interested in.
