Sure, but that's irrelevant to my comment, which is answering the original question "Why is Rust so popular on HN?" in the specific context of Ada.

It's not irrelevant. Ada provided safe, production ready language for systems programming long before Rust, so this part of explaination is simply false.

I wouldn't say it's simply false, just that it requires a bit more explanation. Ada is a safe systems language, but is more restricted in what can safely be expressed.
