Rust, combined with its' excellent tooling, is the only language that has managed to make me feel like a genius while writing code. It may not be for everyone, but I personally absolutely love the ergonomics, safety and performance promises the language makes.
In the large yearly stack overflow survey it has been the "most loved programming language" for the past 8 years in a row and at the moment its admiration is only growing. I don't see anything stop this streak anytime soon. For good reasons.
Probably the most beautiful-looking language, but doesn't have great performance. Also it's not strictly typed, and garbage-collected. I used to use it for scripts, but now I just script in rust.

Cool! Sounds even more useful than I thought.

What's your opinion of Ruby?.

Yep, it is.

I don’t know a ton of people who write Rust regularly, but most people at least somewhat familiar with it love the idea of the language.
Though of course actually using the language is a different story, as the compiler can be intimidating.

I thought compiler messages being way better than others was one of the selling points.

Compiler messages are first in class, but the borrow checker still makes for quite a brutal learning curve

@njinx @wviana it's amazing at the same time it's annoying 😞
