If a small community is great and the tool they push is valid, it will grow until it's not great anymore. Try mentioning any tool that has grown in popularity, stood the test of time, and still has an exemplary community.
If a small community is great but the tool is not particularly good, they will stay small and simply get ignored. That's the average scenario for most languages not pushed by a wealthy vendor: you just don't hear about them because you don't need the tool.

Meh, this is just the first of many to come, if Rust is to keep growing in popularity. It's on the same trajectory as Go, just a bit behind because it got usable a few years later.

If you originally meant that the Rust community is on the way of becoming less welcoming, well that works for me.
