I doubt rust would replace Java but it defo has more of a Chance replacing Java than JS has replacing C.

Rust is intended to actually replace C++; it adds all the safety features needed to make responsible code with C/C++, but brings a modern syntax with what I'd say is by far the most helpful compiler ever.

If I want to build a desktop GUI app using GTK, I would certainly pick C++, because Rust executable size is big and takes very long to compile.

Err... and the C++ one will likely have bugs and race conditions, and the Rust one won't.

Do you not understand the value proposition of Rust?
