As a person who doesn't like Rust very much, no, it doesn't suck. Some of its features make some folks very excited for very right reasons, and evokes "Silver Bullet Syndrome" in others for all the wrong reasons.

People weaponizing Rust rewrites with permissive licenses is another problem, but it's not about the programming language itself.

No. It actually does suck.

See how opinions work?
