Rust is a decent replacement for any static compiled language too. It's honestly a breath of fresh air if you actually need to use parallelism and had to experience that with other static languages. Even my peers that transitioned from ruby to rust had a pretty smooth time since ruby's functional-ish, enumerable dependence, and blocks style coding lends itself well to rust's idioms. But if you've only ever stayed in iterative dynamic language land and don't remember university coursework on programming languages, compilers, or operating systems, yes, you'll probably be in for a world of pain and frustration.
