If you are building a new language with serious ambitions for usage, you should really take a look at how well the Rust community has turned out to be. The "Buzz" you experience around the language is largely fueled by lots of enthusiasts - e.g. hop on the IRC channel at any time of day and get help. There are no dumb questions, especially about changes that happened in the mainline 2 days ago.
Barriers for committing to Rust itself are very low. Also, they aggressively moderate their spaces according to their CoC. A few days ago, I asked a rather picky question on their subreddit and was quite surprised how on-point and serious the answers were. Given that the topic had the potential for some trolling, it was surprisingly calm.
It's really a community I am happy in.
Edit: I got a bit excited. Obviously, the point of the whole thing is: Mozilla investing into Rust docs seriously and Cargo really shows that this is not an lab language anymore.
