Yes! That is basically what I am after.
Currently using Erlang so having to give up cheap isolated processes and message passing to do concurrency would be hard. But I understand that is a different level of abstraction as well (a VM, multi-machine clusters, etc vs almost raw C speed).
But in general bringing Rust and Erlang together seems like a swell idea. Both are focused on safety, which I like. Been keeping my eye on https://github.com/hansihe/Rustler
