            Rust has become a very popular language for hobby projects but hasn’t gained lots of traction in professional development. It’s a joke to say finished Rust programs are like unicorns.

        This is just how all FOSS works. Everyone scrambles to do their own projects, either for fun or for necessity, and eventually some fizzle out and funnel people to contribute to alternatives. Trying to start immediately with one solution to rule them all just kills that early progress unless you’re part of some corporate gig willing to dump loads of money on it in the meantime.
