Wheelerof5te said Rust is becoming the "world's best *compiled, safe* language". You objected to this, but then only listed alternative languages which aren't in that group. You responded as if Wheelerof5te had claimed there was "an objectively best language period".

If I say something like "world's best chef" then I mean the person who is best at being a chef. Not the world's best (most moral?) person who happens to also fulfill the definition of being a chef but may be pretty bad at cooking. I think the same was intended here for "best glue language" - best at being a glue language.
