Why not wait and figure that out when we get there? The world is changing too fast now; consider that any vision for 2020 written in 2015 would probably have been useless by the time we were actually in 2020.
Edit: Also consider that updates to Rust probably don't have nearly as big an effect on your customers as changes to .NET, especially the old .NET Framework which was shipped as a shared runtime environment on the customers' machines. Assuming you ship binaries to your customers, Rust probably isn't even visible to them.
