I recently joined Rust community to develop some crates. I always wanted to learn a system programming language but haven't had a chance to try C / C++.

I like the Rust community, friendly and helpful.

Rust. I think its got everything I want in a replacement for C. Plus the project I'm working on is considering using Rust to replace C for parsing untrusted input. I just need to get past the syntax.

I started learning Rust a few days ago. It's an interesting language and I can really see the motivation behind creating it.

I know I'm late to the game but Go. I've been wanting to play with it for a while but haven't had the mental capacity to really dive in after work. As it turns out the company I work at has a project or two slated for the new year that will likely be written, at least partially, in Go. I look forward to getting my feet wet.

I'm personally aiming for Scala. I took the first coursera class and loved the language features so far. The main potential problem I see is a decreasing rate of adoption.

I really want to check out typescript this year. Seems pretty cool and I've been working a lot in JS (ES6) this past year, so I feel like it'll be a great experience to really feel what a type system buys/costs you.

I will actually take the time to learn nasm and do some low stuff. The goal is to explore real mode and bios interrupts.

YMMV, but when I got back into functional programming years ago, I was excited to learn scala, but as it turned out, clojure was everything I expected scala to be.
