So Rust has started to receive criticism which means it's becoming popular. As the creator of c++ says:
"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
- Cshelton 10y agoThis is an old article [2015] by a guy who is paid to attack Rust by a company that makes static analysis tools for C/C++. But yeah, if you don't have haters, you're doing something wrong.

(Note well: This does not mean that no improvement is possible, or that all languages are equally bad. It merely means that the perfect language has never been written, and likely never will be. If people are using it, they will run into limitations, problems, and areas of frustration. Then - hello, human nature - they will complain.)
