Claiming that Rust is a language for 'The Elite' is amusing in light of the recent Rust website redesign, with the following headline[1]:

> Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

The language is entirely about inclusion, empowerment, and removing the fear of systems development.

Perception always lags reality, and it definitely was hard to learn when I picked it up 3-4 years ago. Things have improved so much since then, with non-lexical lifetimes in R2018, better compiler errors, stdlib standardization, RLS + VSCode, etc.
