I think you noted one of the problems Rust is going to have with adoption: its raison d'être is solving technical debt (specifically, security debt). Unfortunately, the reason that's a problem is because most management doesn't even know what it means. And that's not likely to change. So saying "We have a language that might take a bit longer but solves X" is a difficult conversation when the reply is "Wait, what is X?"
