I think people are missing the main point. The real issue with Rust is that it is a designed language which is really tuned and optimized for a specific use case. And for that specific usage, it is really, really good. But even so, it requires a lot more up-front work, due to the limitations and restrictions it imposes.

But it is NOT a good general purpose language. And, maybe to be putting words into the author's mouth, that is their main beef. That every seems to be pushing "Rust All Things" even when it makes no sense, and even if there are much better alternatives available.

So for such comments as "so what about compile time", the issue is that for some, compile time _is a concern_. If it isn't for you, great. But you just can't discount what are valid concerns for others.

People seem to forget that languages are _tools_, and as such, have different sweet-spot use-cases.
