No, he merely suggests that you bored a lot of people by repeating that it's unstable, instead of accepting the fact and using something else.
If being unstable is that bad, then by all means, go and use a stable language.
I, and many others, do use something else. That's the big problem facing Rust, whether or not its creators wish to admit this fact.
There are numerous alternatives to Rust that offer many of its benefits, but they're usable today. We can rely on them today, tomorrow, and likely for some time to come.
And by this fall, we'll likely have Swift as yet another option to add to our growing list.
I think Rust has a lot of potential. But each month that goes by squanders that potential. It has less and less of a chance of making a real impact the longer it isn't usable, especially while its competitors keep evolving.

Yeah, and I listen to Rihanna instead of Jay Farrar. Obviously that's the big problem Jay is facing, and he should sound more like Rihanna to cater to my taste.
