I do wonder why there hasn't been more exploration in a series of languages that have a very similar style and toolchain but have different audiences. It would be great to have Rust, Rust with a GC, and then some sort of interpreted language that has a similar syntax. When jumping between languages I feel like half the battle is overcoming muscle memory.

This is my dream. An interpreted language, implemented in Rust which essentially boxes all data and can do message passing to the host language. This would then give a somewhat plausible upgrade path to port the interpreted code into Rust bit by bit as required. The interpreted language even be slower than Python, so long as the escape hatch to Rust was simple and safe enough to implement the interfaces.
