I'll try.

First, I want to tell you that my comments are not malicious (at least, not on purpose), just telling you what impression I get when looking at it.

Rust got a lot of love from the beginning, a lot of people tried to use it before it was anywhere near stable. They've got burned when their two weeks old code wouldn't compile. I know, they were warned about it, but it still kinda sucks.

If you look at the Rust FAQ[1], it promises yet more incompleteness and breakage to come:

>4 Is any part of this thing production-ready?

>No. Feel free to play around, but don't expect completeness or stability yet. Expect incompleteness and breakage.

Another question people have is: "Are we web yet?" and the answer is: "No, we are not." [2]

No stability, immature ecosystem,... Either the docs are outdated or you're "selling" it wrong. The message I get is "Rust is awesome, but not here yet".

No worries! I don't mind negative feedback, as long as its informed negative feedback. There's tons of bad stuff about Rust. Just like anything :)

Ah! That FAQ is straight-up incorrect, check the 'beta' link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/complement-project-faq.html#i...

We released 1.0 stable in May. We don't make those kinds of changes anymore. The only reason that FAQ entry survived so long is that the FAQ is currently being entirely re-written, so people hadn't read it in a while...

"Are we web yet" is massively outdated. There's been PRs open for a year, with no response from the author https://github.com/teepee/arewewebyet/pulls
