I've never had a chance to play with Rust yet. I'll definitely give it a shot someday

The comparison of Rust with Elm and F# in this article really clicked for me:

I always thought of Rust as similar to Go, but now I think more of it like an ML descendant with C'ish syntax. There's more to it though, Rust is more low-level than languages in the ML family and can often provide the same abstractions without hight costs in performance.
