Nothing is going to be the best at everything. Been programming for a long time and it’s a general truism that every cool new thing comes with a real trade off. I just haven’t found Rust’s yet.

Maybe I get lucky and the trade off is just all the weird community drama.

No it's not the best for everything (e.g. think about mental overhead, or sometimes syntactical overhead when programming in a very generic way, Haskell does a better job here IMHO), but it's so good in most areas that it's better IMHO to just stay in this one ecosystem for the entire stack (which I think is one of the main benefits of Rust, since tooling works so well...)
