Yes, agreed. Having standalone native binary could also be one of the goal (yes the /native options works too) Personally I like Scala a lot, and I used it quite a lot as a hobby for 10+ years, but my impression is that it's dying (or dead) so I'm not really motivated to play with it anymore. Kotlin always felt to me like a subpar Scala, so I never enjoyed it. There is something about Rust that makes me feel it's a smart language and make me enjoy writing it (most of the time at least, it can absolutely be frustrating at times too). But it's certainly a matter of taste before all.
