I don't understand why the parent post of yours is getting this much downvotes. What's wrong with using a GC'ed language when performance requirements are permissive?
That's not precisely their statement even if it is their intention. I don't think anyone could argue that statement (though some may deny your axiom of lax performance requirements).
I think people are taking issue with the claims that _Rust_ is imposing the cognitive burden. As I said, these burdens already exist, languages just weren't forcing people to deal with them.
