I was interested in learning Rust as a safer alternative to C a few years back, and have been observing its progress from afar. I'm much less optimistic about it now, though I only have a layman's understanding of it. The language seems to be more cumbersome to write than many other languages due to its design choices. It may be safer, but not as "ergonomic" subjectively, which ultimately affects productivity. It's hard to think of a good reason to use it, other than the safety features.
