Sure, that's the critique implied by C++ programmers quoting Bjarne: "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses"
Except, we do complain about Rust (e.g. I think narrowing conversions should require TryInto or a specific call, not just 'as', and I don't think String impl Add<&str> is a good idea) it's just that we think the other options are far worse.
