What I would like, as a step forward at least, is something that fills your ruby (or python) niche, but based on Rust, and when in doubt thinks like rust, so that one can migrate from it to full Rust, with a minimum of re-learning. Same libraries, making them as good as Rails and as easy as Ruby in general, garbage collection, etc. But when you flip a switch (or incrementally, in 2-4 levels?) the full compiler checks kick on, garbage collection is off by default, and it lets you specify the details that give rust-like performance, features, and, of course, ease of distribution (a single, smaller binary). With no re-learning of a whole new language -- taken in steps, if/when one is ready to grow. That way it could be recommended to someone who would otherwise not be willing to take on a harder language, and they have a growth path. Or for a computer science program, to grow into it all incrementally. And then yes, make whatever improvements in the OP article, from there.
