Be careful not to ascribe your own narrative onto this. They're not calling you to the site because they want you to use it or buy into it. It's a progress report / unveiling of an experimental project. The primary author (Graydon Hoare) is IMO a frickin' genius, but even so he is at pains to reduce expectations for Rust at this time. So, go easy on Rust for now.
