Rust with GC wouldn't look much like rust anymore.

I think people want is Rust, but simpler. At least by default.

I could imagine people want a programming language that is: memory safe, without GC pauses. A bit slower by default than C / Rust, but with the _option_ to make it as fast. Then easier to learn, less vendor lock-in than Swift, and a modern syntax (no null pointers etc).

I don't think such a language exists currently.

Nim, but whether the syntax is modern is questionable.
