Fiz comment: Finally, C and Java (and a swath of other languages) have met their better!
As some of you know, there are hundreds of different programming languages. Some are preferred for this and some for that. Some are compiled and some are interpreted. Compiled are, generally, vastly faster in performamce than interrpeted languages.
I've been playing with Rust and a few other languages, including Haskell and some of the newer LISP variants, for a while. Rust has been around now for about a decade, but it is clear it is catching on very rapidly now, as security becomes increasingly a priority: more important than development speed, in particular, for code which is going to be used for a long time.
Soon, I expect other programming languages -- most of which are coded in C, for performance reasons -- will be written in Rust. Rust has near C like speed with safety from certain common bugs way beyond anything else I've seen short of Haskell.
