> I can't imagine that Rust will not be one of the most important languages of the next decade.
As someone new to this industry, I'd love to hear a counter argument to this if anyone has one.

Of course one can also use Rust for applications which previously used Java, and still benefit from a stricter type system and a potential efficiency improvement. But the selling proposition becomes a bit tougher. Con's for adopting Rust are the higher complexity, and a potentially reduced developer ecosystem for particular domains which have a ton of Java/C#/Go/Javascript libraries.
I can’t say I’ve ever known Rust very well, but I knew the basics and decided to wait and see before investing more time until there’s a clear sign that the language is becoming popular outside blockchain.
I don’t regret learning Rust, but haven’t seen any benefits either given my many years of C++ experience.
