This is like reading criticism of Erlang which we use. A bunch of people (the vast majority of which never shipped anything in it) have plenty of arguments against it, those of us that actually use it love it to bits.

Rust is productive, efficient and a joy to use. For things we required C/C++ before, we will be using Rust now.

Japan's NicoVideo seems to agree. 550K lines of Erlang, and 20K lines of Rust.

Rust aims to be mainstream hence the effort to improve ergonomics and marketing,documentation. Or atleast safe systems programming to be mainstream.
