I feel like this is a case of the no silver bullet principle. Like, going from a legacy/pre-modern/old language to modern, dynamic to static typed, etc. isn't going to magically make your projects succeed.

Maybe these failed projects in modern languages are the graveyards of those who believed that silver bullets exist.

Or maybe Rust projects are filled with people of first and foremost want to learn Rust, and the actual completion of the project is secondary.
