Not at all. I think Rust is a groundbreaking and influential language. Regardless of its success in market, it is a great and lasting contribution to programming language design.

I am, however, triggered by misleading claims about software correctness -- a subject I care deeply about -- which recently tend to come from the Rust community (replacing Haskell), and then annoyed further by claims of inevitability that I find hard to reconcile with the data. Sorry, but I am human :)

The Rust team is rightfully proud of their achievements, in language design, documentation, and also in offering those of us who are interested in software correctness another novel approach to consider.
