Sure, but the problem is when you have a community around that tool that insists otherwise.

Can you please give an example of that? Rust is very much advertised as a systems programming language. Can't really blame people for using it and going "oh it's harder than go and python"...

    From the website:

    Are these "systems"? FWIW "systems" does not appear on the Rust home page.

    From wikipedia:

    > Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.
