You have to remember that we die. So what you learn til 30, say, you capitalise on till 70, and then you retire & die.

There isn't another live to live until 30 "again", and then be within the Rust culture.

Rust has, by analogy, stapled it's "Ninety-five Theses to the door" of C++ and those C++atholics are afraid their way of life is ending before they do.

Taking that analogy further, Catholicism didn't die out. Protestantism definitely grew, then there were hostilities and outright fighting for hundreds of years in some cases.
