Rust is a systems programming language. It forces you to think about computer architecture as you are writing code. The language is a tool expressing how logic should execute safely and performantly on actual hardware. That is both its strength and weakness.
I agree with the article in so far as the hope that people will not start pushing Rust as the cool language for pretty much everything.
For many development endeavors, the language is a tool purely for expressing logic, and for that Rust is a poor choice IMO.
