Microsoft and Intel are looking seriously into using Rust instead of C/C++ for systems programming:

Some of the ideas apply when evaluating languages or toolchains for apps as well.
Huh... just noticed "sea change" is an audible pun in this context ;)
Also - maybe we could get a Rust language forum on this site, couldn't figure out which forum/category to choose.
