That's not given.

Vala is nothing like Rust, doesn't solve the same problems, and is much more narrow in scope (Gnome development).

For the reasons I mentioned above, adoption of vala by projects in 2010 is exactly like adoption of Rust.

That Rust is much more capable doesn't matter.

You didn’t give any reasons about adoption of Vala. You said it’s hard to hire Rust programmers, and then just “Remember Vala anyone?” without actually saying anything more about Vala.
