I don't know if it is the language of the future, but Rust is definitely high on my "let's reprogram Singularity/Plan9/Friends"-and-actually-use-it list

I'd certainly join and attempt to help any project started in that direction, at least.

It's interesting that you mention Singularity, as it turns out that Singularity has been a major influence on Rust. For example, the current communication is very similar to the channel contracts used in Singularity.

Well I'm a big fan of many concepts of Singularity. And I like rust. I guess that's no coincidence ;-)

Makes me wonder if anyone is working on a llvm-to-rust compiler.

What would that be used for?

Checking correctness of the rust->llvm compiler, obviously :P
