$LANG is a Rust killer

A few years ago everyone was trying to kill Rails. Now apparently everyone wants to kill Rust. What do you think it would take to dethrone this nigh-invincible language that the entire industry has been using for years and that people are getting hired to write code in? Personally I am waiting for a language called WD-40.

I like the core idea of Rust (concurrent memory safety without garbage collection through the borrow system), but the language is kind of shockingly ugly and convoluted for something that hasn't even reached ``1.0 status'' yet. I'm hoping someone will make the Scheme to Rust's Common Lisp one of these days.
