I do. I'm not criticizing Rust, I'm failing to understand the people who choose to use it in places where it doesn't belong. Over time that's becoming an increasingly larger part of all the people who use it.

And while I agree there are certainly people looking to push the boundaries, often too far, where Rust makes sense, the language and its ecosystem are also becoming more proficient.
