I agree that your million dollar question is very good and relevant. Rust can definitely be improved -- async is sticking out as a sore thumb still and it requires a lot of ad-hoc knowledge that's not at all intuitive -- but I'd still venture to say it does pretty well in many areas.

Rust absolutely is not the end state of programming languages but I feel in many ways it's quite ahead than most of everything else. But yes, we still need something a tad better than it.
