Yes.
The biggest innovation of Rust is bringing some of the good ideas from functional programming to low level programming. I'd also say that partially exposing data flow analysis to a proframmer is new.
Rust package management is quite good, and also not by any means an invention.
I am still not a fan of all the ugly macro programming systems and verbose syntax in the language.
Macros in Rust are really ergonomically terrible. Zig's approach here is way better.
The language I really want is somewhere inbetween those two languages.
