Rust’s cavalier attitude to language and compiler stability, their absurd bootstrapping situation and limited platform support, not to mention their belief that “curl something|bash” is acceptable procedure are all reasons why I’ve avoided it despite the many good qualities of the language.
Rust has been a very stable language since Rust 1.0. They have a stellar record of keeping things working - with most code breaking being due to said code invoking UB. The edition system is a brilliant invention that allows evolving the language _without_ causing an ecosystem split. Thanks to this, Rust ends up having a much better stability story than even C++ (for whom you can't really mix and match different C++ versions).
The bootstrapping situation is really not that bad? We have mrustc (A C++ rust->C transpiler) which allows compiling modern versions of rustc (latest supported rustc version being 1.54), which we can then iteratively bootstrap from up to the latest version. And things are getting better, with gccrs[0] in particular promising a rust frontend for GCC, written in C.
As for the "curl something|bash", I suppose you're talking about rustup. You're free to download the script, and review it before installing it. And rust is also distributed many different ways. At least `curl something|bash` does not require root account, unlike `sudo apt install`, which can be very convenient. Like all things: Multiple options are generally better.
