I think it would behoove you to explain how you're coming up with that number, given that the person you're replying to has pointed out exactly when Rust 1.0 was released.
If we're going by design inception dates, Go goes back to 2007 or earlier.

Not necessarily the troll's motivation, but: there's also a lot of "Rust envy"[1] going around from some people (mostly disgruntled C++ devs who feel threatened by it) who'll baselesly say anything and misrepresent something to prove their point. How does it never cross their mind that they're on the wrong side of things if they have to grasp for lies to prove their points?
[1]: I came up with the term just now, but I'm not sure "envy" is the right word; maybe "petty spite" is a better term.
