One thing Rust has done, is to teach everyone they must lead with propoganda. After all if your propoganda isn't overbearing, obviously you've got nothing? It is pretty sad others feel compelled to repeat such bombastic same-old same-old glowing terms, rather than describing "what we do is different". Robust? Show us 100 critical and meaningful programs. Optimal? That results from LLVM in the back-end. Reusable? Uhm show us 100 critical and meaningful programs. Perhaps these authors don't understand that those of us attempting to use modern techniques like privsep in C (proper privsep is exceedingly rare outside of the C universe because memory-safe makes privsep irrelevant /sarc) remain uninspired by such lead-ins. We recognize all the tools in the world are imperfect, but wow, such a first sentence does wonders to lose the audience. I met a programmer using an obscure language...
