Fair points, but this glosses over some of the not-great parts. Cargo isn't great. No sanctioned formal spec isn't great. Compilation times aren't great. Messing around with wrapping foreign types can be a bit of a bear sometimes.

It's a fine language, just like all the others. I'd rather write a web server in Go and a use C when targeting a micro-controller.

Almost reminds me of a quote I heard about python a long time ago: python is the second-best language for everything, and the "first-best" for nothing.

No, it’s for the reason you said. Not everything is a nail.

Thank you for so aptly demonstrating what I deal with at work.

also some of those people probably wanna put "used rust at work" on their resume
