I don't claim to be even close to proficient in Rust. It is not an easy or simple language, and very much rivals older versions of C++ and Java, in complexity. For those wanting to spend more time on important parts of their programs, where 95% is memory tedium, but they do want or need something lower level, for whatever reason, Rust gets genuine followers, for at least mostly living up to its basic promises.
It's much more that for the commies and troons, a fresh, growing, programming community represented an opportunity to get in, become maintainers, moderators, NGO go-betweens, etc.. The programming language was just another vehicle of subversion.
