Its author is a very intelligent person, worth respect. Rust has both

Maybe not intelligent enough, otherwise he would join the D development.
That's rather harsh and not much better than swearing religiously by a
language. Every language has its reasons for existing. (And no, there
*is no such thing* as a general-purpose language; that assertion simply
does not hold.)

That probably depends how narrow you want the definition of
general-purpose to be.
