I've been coding for over 20 years now! (WOAH, do I feel old)
I've touched just about every resource imaginable under the Sun (too bad they were bought out by Oracle)
Rust tooling, on the other hand, has a LONG way to go still. The bootstrapping process is still horribly painful. Its great if you're using a pre-compiled version of it, but manually compiling Rust (assuming it successfully compiles, something that more often than not has failed for me), still takes multiple hours on a 16-core workstation. There are countless other issues I've had with the tooling, too.
So TLDR: if they slow down language development a bit and focus on tooling for a while, it would become a solid language! Until then, I won't recommend it to most, because it causes too many issues on non-dominant platforms.
Rust, independently as a language, seems great!

Its a great thing to see things from a tooling perspective never saw it that way 😃
