No surprise that you get responses from the Rust Defence League. They downvote any criticisms of Rust here and on reddit, and upvote anything that mentions it in a positive light. They rush to its defence everywhere. I seriously reckon that steveklabnik and pcwalton must have a bot watching HN and reddit for mentions of Rust so they can immediately rush to its defence every time it comes up. It's a pity because I actually think the language has potential, but it's not going to be successful if they're incapable of taking any critique on board. And it's not ready, it's not mature. They have to accept that.
