Thanks, that sounds about right. Throw Rust in there too, its an interesting time.

The difference between Java, Go and Rust is that you can teach the first two to any fresh out of school CS grad in a week or two and have them be productive.

Not so much with Rust.

Rust is a great language too (I'm in the process of learning it), but I would definitely not put it in the same category as Java and Go in terms of the problems it is good at solving. It fits much more with C/C++.

There is a huge class of problems that don't need the precision (especially around memory) that Rust demands from the programmer.
