I think this is probably a big testament to the draw that Rust has. Its a great language with big improvement and it feels like it will actually happen.

Whenever I dabled around with other languages, I quickly found reasons to not go deeper that where outside of the language itself. Like, small community, not many libraries, will never convince the boss to use it in production, doesn't run on embedded, ...

Rust is the language that really feels like investing in it will pay off.

(Still - do some Racket, or lisp or scheme, it's fun and exposes you to cool ideas and concepts.)
