I hope so.

Like there is an answer of I hope so.

I think languages change a lot and the language ecosystem change a lot.

I didn't think 10 years ago I'd be still writing Python or JavaScript, but I'm still writing Python and JavaScript.

But you look at them, and they're a lot different to the Python and JavaScript you wrote 10 years ago.

So I think Rust is here to stay.

I said earlier, it's in the Linux kernel now.

It's in low-level libraries for Python.

It's in UV.

It's in TI.

It's becoming a core part of our industry.

But how will I be writing it or will someone else writing it?

I don't know.

Maybe we'll have got to a point where we have saturated the amount of rust we need to write and we can use...

higher level tooling built on top of that Rust?

Could we have a language that's less verbose than Rust that gives us the same memory safety?

Could we take the lessons we learned from the borrow checker and apply that to a language that looks something like a Python for business logic?

and call in and out of it.

And maybe that's better for us.

Maybe that's actually what I want is a language that takes all the learnings from Rust and takes the stability from Rust, but is a little friendlier for newcomers or a little easier for people fresh
