You seem to be taking this very personally AND making unwarranted assumptions.
Let me correct a few of your misapprehensions.
> You appear to be an emissary from the Rust community.
I follow Rust with interest, because I like a lot of its basic principles. This does not make me any kind of "emissary".

I am in no way affiliated with the Mozilla organization.

I am also not aware of 'using every single topic on HN to mention "Rust does it better". In particular, you may note the lack of the word "better" in my comment.

This is quite ironic considering the meat of my post was a complaint about the lack of content in TFA.

Again, I'm not clear where you see proselityzing in my post. Maybe there was something unclear about the way I wrote, but the idea was to take something ill-defined (the C# dialect in question) and compare it to something with clearly defined semantics which has been discussed here before. I've made no claim at superiority of one approach against the other. Considering how little there is in the article, it would have been silly even if I had been so inclined.

Again, you seem to be reading more in my post than what I wrote. That said, and to address the point you raise here, the big problem with Rust until now is the syntax and feature sets has undergone significant changes between point releases, which is not an incentive to spend a lot of man-hours working on it just yet.
