> This is why the Lisp and Smalltalk Evangelism Strikeforces have been met with decades of failure, while the Rust Evanglism Strikeforce is getting on with a massive project of digital tikkun olam.

If that were true, then Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc would also have failed. Smalltalk and Lisp failed to become popular in the modern world for reasons having nothing to do with late binding.

How about wait until Rust is at least as widely used as Ruby before going on about how much of a failure Smalltalk and Lisp are. Let's see if Rust stays around as long as Smalltalk & Lisp have, or whether it has that kind of influence on other languages.
