I'll try.

First, I want to tell you that my comments are not malicious (at least, not on purpose), just telling you what impression I get when looking at it.

Rust got a lot of love from the beginning, a lot of people tried to use it before it was anywhere near stable. They've got burned when their two weeks old code wouldn't compile. I know, they were warned about it, but it still kinda sucks.

If you look at the Rust FAQ[1], it promises yet more incompleteness and breakage to come:

>4 Is any part of this thing production-ready?

>No. Feel free to play around, but don't expect completeness or stability yet. Expect incompleteness and breakage.

Another question people have is: "Are we web yet?" and the answer is: "No, we are not." [2]

No stability, immature ecosystem,... Either the docs are outdated or you're "selling" it wrong. The message I get is "Rust is awesome, but not here yet".
