I said that Rust "is on track" to become the best, not that it is best. It is still a young language, but Rust shows great promise to one day be that one language you need for just about anything, sans scripting. The best part is that Rust is approaching C levels of speed, sometimes even surpassing it.
Python is currently the easiest language to learn, has a plethoa of modules in it's standard library alone, plus a vast ocean of 3rd party libraries. From displaying cute cats inside your terminal, to large mathematical monoliths like numpy and scipy. Python has almost everything you need to build programs, minus the speed and easy distribution of executables.
Java is semi-compiled and too verbose to be a glue language.
Javascript is faster than Python, but is much more difficult to use efficiently. It's standard library is such a joke that I had to install a 3rd-party library just to use a input() equivalent.

Compiled with memory safety? Which language you have in mind better than rust at this moment? Just curious.
Honestly, none that I can think of.
