It's still irritating. Rust was the first language that made me feel comfortable working in something that compiles to native code and I do want to shout it from the rooftops, but I have the tact and perspective to know why that's a bad idea.
I get the impression all of these people have never actually coded anything more significant than a lab project in some high-school programming course. (Even with the projects where I do plan to rewrite from Python to Rust for reasonable gains in reduced maintenance burden and even for the ones which are tiny little utilities, it's not as if I'm going to find time immediately and the new version won't match the old one overnight. The fact that you can link Rust modules into C programs isn't magic pixie dust.)
