No. If that were true, Python wouldn't be the fastest growing language, and we'd be hand optimizing everything in assembly and using languages that allowed us to do that (C). That was the entire point I was making. It's why Java won.
I can't figure out if Rust is serious about being a true competitor, or just merely riding the peak on the Gartner Hype Cycle [1].
