You seem to over talking Rust and under talking Vala.
No, I don't. :)
I know all you have linked. I have been following this ml since 2008. I
also know the article by esr and agree, in part, with him.
Rust is a hard beast to learn. It took me months to have a decent grasp
of it, and I'm still missing many "rustic ways" of doing things, while
in Vala I was productive in weeks.
But, on the other side: no memory leaks, no segmentation faults, no
concurrency mess-ups (unless you try VERY hard).
I don't want to advocate rust (but try it. You will hate it. And then
you'll love it :).
What I'm saying is exactly what you said: Rust has many more resources.
It's growing much faster (it is not even 2 years old).
Inevitably, in a couple of years, it will be ahead of Vala even in
Gtk/Gnome support, unless hundreds of developers adopt Vala now.
I am sorry about it because I really liked the idea behind Vala.
I am glad about it because it's a safer language.
Bye.
