Two years of Rust

Let's be clear - the person who said there'd be no reason to write in anything else is an enthusiastic Rust user, but they don't work on Rust & don't represent "the Rust community."

Respectfully, the community has become increasingly vocal, and it's getting hard to separate the enthusiasm from realism. It's embedded in every HN thread. That's a good problem to have, but it can be a bit repellant to people who aren't Rust converts.

Thanks for the breakdown and future roadmap. I hope the compile times can be kept to a minimum in order to avoid C++'s fate.

The community is in every thread because the people here were HN users before they were Rust users. Look at how old my account is; I haven't quite been shilling Rust since December 2011. :P

Except one of tenets of Rust community is don't be a language zealot. Don't advocate for rewriting everything, etc.
