Not really. If anything I'm pretty sure Fred would compare it to Ada:

    > Nevertheless, Ada will not prove to be the silver bullet that slays the software productivity monster, It is, after all, just another high-level language, and the biggest payoff from such languages came from the first transition, up from the accidental complexities of the machine into the more abstract statement of step-by-step solutions.

And I think he'd be on the money. Rust and Ada are revolutionary languages in their own right, but 10x holy grail they aren't.
