"The biggest issue which is inherent to the language is the learning curve"

I think of Rust as a "full-time" language - it doesn't lend itself to small, part-time use like languages such as Python or Ruby.

It is not an immediatley approachable language and can appear intimidating at first. It feels big, although this is subjective and for some a large language is not a problem.

I don't like the terse and cryptic syntax of Rust but this too is subjective and for many programmers it's something easily overcome. I do wonder though: what would people's perception (and takeup) of Rust have been like if the language had syntax closer to Ruby or Python?
