Many times during Rust's design process, I saw quotes like this:

"Rust is not the first systems language and will not be the last."

and

"Rust is a language designed for the hardware of today, not that of ten years from now."

Rust is just a stepping stone on the path to better systems languages. It's not the greatest language ever and it made mistakes, but it gets enough right to make it a very compelling option in the systems programming space.
