For me learning Rust isn't about "OMG this is my #forever-language", it's more about presenting me with a new way of thinking about and through problems. I code 99% in Python at my day job and when I made the effort/struggle to learn Clojure a few years ago it fundamentally altered how I think about problems. This is the same result I'm looking for from Rust. Basically just adding more tools to the mental toolbox.

It will not be as big a change in thinking as Clojure, I am quite sure, but the type system usage is where the change will comw from. That and perhaps borrow checker.
