I'd recommend Rust for systems programming. It has a strong type system, modern concurrency features, and great performance.

I'm currently learning Rust for a personal project. The community is amazing and the resources for learning the language are excellent. I'm excited to see where it takes me!

I'm considering Kotlin for my next project. It's a modern JVM language with strong support for functional programming and an excellent type system.

Kotlin is a fantastic language, and I've been very happy with the results of my projects. The community is growing and I love the smooth interop with Java.

Rust seems like a strong contender, but I'm concerned about the adoption rate in the industry. I don't want to spend all this time learning a language that might not be widely used in the future.

Adoption rate is important, but you should also consider the quality and long-term support of the ecosystem. Rust is backed by Mozilla, which is committed to its future.

Rust's performance and memory safety guarantees make it a compelling alternative to C++ and Java, but it's true that there's a learning curve.

I agree, Rust has some great features. However, I found the learning curve quite steep. For web development, I'd still stick to JavaScript and its ecosystem.

I'd argue that TypeScript is a better choice than JavaScript for web development. It offers static typing, which can help prevent runtime errors, and it has a growing ecosystem.

Agreed. I've been using TypeScript for a while now and it's made a huge difference in the maintainability and readability of my code.
