Not that this invalidates your point, but there are two university classes being taught in Rust right now; I had the pleasure of guest lecturing at Penn's yesterday, in fact. Here's hoping to more of those in the future.
ah great to know ! I also hope to see more in the future.
here I was playing the devil's advocate, but to have been at both seat (having hard time to hire as a CTO and needing to fallback on PHP in one company / trying to push Rust in my current one) I now see why chosing a stack is not only about tehcnical merits.
I certainly agree this is a big plus for Java.
