As the author of the talk/blog post, I was definitely going for a bit of a moral valence in the title, in the sense that future cancellations are very hard to reason about and what I call the least Rusty part of Rust. But it admittedly is a bit clickbaity too.
To balance the universe a bit, I read it expecting a drama post - then read it right through because it was at least as interesting as the drama post I'd expected. I also discovered Oxide through this, which looks interesting, except for the complete lack of pricing I can find on their site - which puts in my head as probably in the "If you need to ask the price you can't afford it" category...
