I have been using Rust for 5 months now , its definitely a language for alpha programmers with a steep learning curve but the results / maintenance are likely to be significantly better than C++ and good C++ programmers will make the transition more easily.
Its not a language which most Java / Go/C#/ Delphi/Vb/Php/Ruby/Js programmers will be comfortable with and unless they have other experience will struggle. I suspect a more heap oriented style will auto rc will evolve for the average non enthusiast programmer and to move Rust out of the non system language/ library area. eg at present a mutable graph / tree is not very intuitive https://github.com/nrc/r4cppp/blob/master/graphs/README.md for writers , though once written easy enough to use.
