This is a mischaracterization of Rust to the point of incredulity. I've been talking to companies experimenting with Rust and all the engineers I've spoken to have praised Rust for its ability to let them do their jobs with confidence. These engineers are in domains where GC is intolerable and C++ is considered too much of a risk (in fact, one of my biggest surprises in this current endeavor is discovering how few people in industry will describe themselves as comfortable with C++ to the point of being willing to use it in greenfield projects with confidence). Without Rust, these companies would be forced to buy more hardware to throw hardware at the problem or hire C++ specialists to throw at the problem; fortunately Rust threads the needle and provides extreme business value. Rust was created to solve a specific pain point. It's not some language that sprang fully-formed and perfectly-designed out of the ether. It solves problems that no other language even attempts to solve (no, Ada doesn't do what Rust does (and likewise, Rust doesn't do what Ada does)), and the mechanisms that it uses to do that took years of iteration and concerted effort on large codebases. Not everyone needs to be working at the level that Rust does, and I think that's great. I'm a polyglot programmer myself, and I like Rust because at last there exists a language that lets me perform at the level of C with the same level of memory correctness that I expect from Python (or really, any language designed post-1995).
