It sounds like you’re saying, you spent a lot of time focused on learning rust, so now you like to discuss its shortcomings as abrasively as you can for sport.

  Upthread I’ve already surrendered. There are certain gangs you just don’t pick a fight with. I’m a slow learner in some ways but I get the message. Got it, learning Rust nuts and bolts only makes it worse to say anything skeptical about it.

    Your argument seems to mostly boil down to "Rust isn't magic", which nobody is really arguing. It does help eliminate one class of really nasty bugs, which tend to repeatedly show up in a lot of massive security hacks, and which generally everyone would like to see eliminated. Therefore: use Rust. Comparisons to other languages like Haskell don't really work, since they don't fit in the same space nor have the same goals as Rust or C.

      Do I really need to do the search for comparisons to solar panels or cancer drugs, or does that sort of scan?

    Nearly every answer you gave in this thread doesn't address the parent comments point at all. It seems you are just raging and reading subtext and drama where there is none. Further up someone mentioned Rust and Haskell aren't similar and you go on about Rust-religion and where to use Rust. Why don't you just address the point? "Lego" is also not a synonym or metaphor for simplified.
