Like you said its fine to promote language on its merit, but using false propaganda to promote it borders fraud and Rust community needs to act together to stop such practices.
Overhype within Rust community is a sign of fear among the community that some simple language (may be zig, nim or something new) might come and pull the rug under their feet. Given it compromise on simplicity in favour of quashing memory safety bugs.
One reason rewrite in Rust is popular because its easier to copy something already done vs doing something original (one recent example came to mind is rewriting gnu coreutils in Rust).
