Is he wrong?

Does it even matter? Rust does what it does and it was enough of a benefit to include in the kernel. It is a big accomplishment.

Regardless of whether he’s right or wrong, I think that this is somewhat natural and is to be expected.

Like with any emerging technology, early adopters become advocates because they’re convinced of the technology’s superiority. Once they organize into a community and get to know each other personally, then at least some of the motivation shifts: you want to see your friends succeed, you want to be part of a community that is making change, you want your early adoption to be “validated” by mainstream success, etc.

This can cloud technical judgment (not saying this is happening here, but if it were, it wouldn’t be surprising)
