I've been seeing some interesting takes on recent Rust adoption (git adding Rust components, Canonical shipping Rust coreutils in Ubuntu 25.10).

The conspiracy theories are... something else. Apparently it's all coordinated by "Big Rust."

Just for fun, I ended up writing down my thoughts on the most common arguments I keep seeing. Turns out, most of them don't hold up when you take a closer look.
