I've been developing my own language called hica, and Rust has been one of its inspirations. I have created a Hica vs. Rust comparison at https://cladam.github.io/hica/docs/hica-vs-rust/ and the verdict is ofc Rust :), see hica as a gateway to Rust.

From my conclusion:

"If you already know Rust, you’ll read hica code fluently. If you’re learning hica first, you’ll find that many of its patterns (Result types, match expressions, immutability) transfer directly when you’re ready for Rust."

What does this community think?
