Remember, Rust is just a year old. There are already a few OS projects going in it. All the languages you mentioned are >10 years old.

I think for its age, the success it already enjoys is impressive.

It's not a criticism of the qualities of Rust. It's just an assessment of the current state of affairs. Maybe Rust will gain the mindshare in 3 years. We'll see. I personally think having something better than C but as ubiquitous and supported as C would be awesome. Is it Rust? We'll see in 5 years.

I would then say that it has momentum, not mindshare.
