Oh wow a replacement for a tool I already have. It's slightly faster, even if I seldom ever worry about its speed. Who cares?

57000 people who have starred its repository on Github care.

More evidence than you have provided for your claim "Rust isn't delivering value", what did you use to come to that conclusion?

It's a toy. Cool project, but it's a replacement for something that already exists and does its job well. All it demonstrates is "we micro-optimized our libraries more than GNU". It doesn't say anything about the advantages of Rust itself.
