At what point do we stop holding Rust to lower standards because it's "relatively new"? Go first appeared in 2009 [1] while Rust first appeared in 2010 [2], but Rust's flaws are apparently expected as it's perpetually "relatively new".
I want to like Rust, but its "do anything and everything" packaging system (Cargo) makes it hard to properly integrate into external build systems, which is pretty important to large companies or any company that has an integrated build system or an existing build system. The language is also increasingly complex and shows no sign of slowing.
Developers may have a high opinion on Rust, but the evident scarcity of Rust jobs and underusage in the real world doesn't give me the impression that it's a production ready language.
