I disagree about Rust (I assume you mean rigidity) you just need to learn how to work with it's vtable's through &Traits and/or enums. In terms of speed and foot shots, it definitely beats C.

I think Rust is the greatest programming language of our generation.

But regardless (and I meant irony, not pony in the original post), not everyone will agree with me, so everyone will want their own language. What we need is a general purpose packaging tool (I like cargo, but apt-get could serve equally well) which could support any language.
