As a senior engineer, I am quite alienated by the hype and the completely exaggerated promises that are being made to people. It is precisely such exaggerations that inevitably lead to equally exaggerated counter-movements (such as today's anti-OOP, for example). As long as the community is unable to view technologies objectively, a lot of money and time will be wasted on false expectations. If we don't take a clear stand against this, nothing will improve. I have presented my argument. It consists of more than just a keyword.

And yet here you are writing a post that does that about a different technology. Not exactly the approach I’d expect from a senior engineer.
The individual you responded to did a great breakdown of the bias in your article. You should take it in to account rather than reject it, especially if you want to convince people.

No, I report based on my experiments and realistic expectations. I don't promise: "just rewrite in Rust and everything is safe, and don't hesitate to spend millions for it". I offer a perspective instead based on proven track records of the technology and present a method how to make it better accessible.
You are once again writing with the same level of bias that was pointed out to you a few comments above.
It is not having the effect you wish to see.
