I'm very interested in Rust. However, it seems that Rust is not yet able to do symbolic math.
If there's one thing Rust is not, it's a good "glue" language. It seems to do best in large, densely coupled projects. This is where there's the least cost to defining all your own types, and also where a strong type system provides the most benefit. I think there will always be a place for more dynamic languages that tend to do better at interfaces.
