$LANG is a Rust killer

A few years ago everyone was trying to kill Rails. Now apparently everyone wants to kill Rust. What do you think it would take to dethrone this nigh-invincible language that the entire industry has been using for years and that people are getting hired to write code in? Personally I am waiting for a language called WD-40.

Who wants to kill Rust? C++ just can't. Haskell, Scala, and Idris all need GC. Clojure and Go are unsafe and need GC. Yaron Minsky was impressed with Rust and I haven't heard from Leroy, but I doubt OCaml wants to kill Rust.
