Just my two cents: there are lots of Rust zealots in HN right now. Rust is at the top of its hype cycle rn, so it's a bit difficult to have balanced discussions even here. You're completely right with that Rust isn't one of the main language that drives the industry yet, but everyone will jump on you with tons of partial examples, and will claim it's already flying. Sigh.
