To play devils advocate, for every technology that comes along with an advancement a handful come along with broken promises. People love to make fun of Javascript for that, but the only difference there is the cadence. Senior developers know this and know that the time and energy needed to separate the wheat from the chaff is exhausting. The advancements are not relentless it is the churn which is.

That being said, rust comes with technical advances and also with enough of a community that the non technical requirements are already met. There should be enough evidence for rational but stubborn people to accept it as a way forward
