"rust community" is not a single organism.

I also think we should understand someone was probably quite excited to see something they liked taken seriously by a company they respect. Maybe in their excitement and rush they user hyperbole.

Rust is the CrossFit of programming languages.

Isn't this the only way a programming language can gain wide adoption now?

Someday, someone is going to release in a program in Rust that automates deleting your Facebook account, and things will go crazy.
