> The people pushing for Rust are people who are highly experienced software engineers who have gone through a career of hardship because of memory unsafe languages and understand the tradeoffs. The beginning of this statement is at odds with the end of it. Anyone who understands tradeoffs won't push anything because they know that which tradeoffs are acceptable is intimately dependent on the problem being solved, and without deep knowledge of the problem one cannot even begin to speak about accepting tradeoffs. Pushing someone who doesn't yet understand their problem towards a solution is the antithesis of engineering. Moderately experienced code monkeys, who have been around enough problems to see failure, but not enough problems to understand that other people have different problems to solve seem to like to push languages onto other people, though. I'll give you that.
