I dont so much dismiss the technology as the people who insist on rewriting everything in rust.
Rust seems to attract a certain mindset of mediocre programmers who yell "security" to shove their poorly written slower code down our throats.
Most of them seem to be former web developers who bring all their npm drama to stable C foundations
