I'm back-and-forth on whether they're actually a troll. In the best case, they're a non-L1 English speaker who's upset but isn't making particularly coherent points. But things are coming to a close anyways.

I wasn't sure if it's a language issue at first myself (I'm still not completely sure), but based on their replies it seems like it's just a fruitless smear quest because they don't like something about Rust.
Not necessarily the troll's motivation, but: there's also a lot of "Rust envy"[1] going around from some people (mostly disgruntled C++ devs who feel threatened by it) who'll baselesly say anything and misrepresent something to prove their point. How does it never cross their mind that they're on the wrong side of things if they have to grasp for lies to prove their points?
[1]: I came up with the term just now, but I'm not sure "envy" is the right word; maybe "petty spite" is a better term.
