I have seen and used lisp, still I think that Rust is innovative. 
Namely the combination of very good typesystem, best to date 
(because fully compiler-verified) resource management and AST 
macros is innovative.

But what I like the most about is that it wasn't created in a 
stike of genius by a guy in a basement, but instead by continuous 
refinement of many ideas with strong desire to keep the language 
small and consistent.
