As a (nominally) front-end developer the RIIR movement's energy is similar to how the front-end community approaches things.

Overall Rust and its community have many traits that make them very approachable to people not expected to know anything about systems programming, namely:

-Package manager with a familiar philosophy behind it (and not the sort of hell you have to deal with setting up a C++ development environment).

-Outputs WASM without much bureaucracy and advertises it.

-Friendly compiler messages. I don't recall seeing "perhaps" in a compiler error message before.

The people designing Rust put much effort into making the language as approachable as possible and that's the net effect.

That is not to say this is going to be necessarily successful, but so far the enthusiasm is there.
