Perhaps that company failed because it chose to port things to Rust and not because of Rust itself? Or any other number of reasons that survivorship bias might be mistaking.
Lol, so Rust is perfect until you actually try to do something with it.
I emphasised too much in that comment perhaps. I was going for because it chose to port things, meaning that maybe that company wasted time working on porting things instead of working on things needed to survive.
