Some incorrect assumptions:

* Rust does not have slow compile times compared to C++. They are often faster. Linking tends to be the slow part. C++ compilation speeds suffer heavily from header files. * Lifetime semantics can be confusing in any language. In C++, you ignore it, you get crashes from dangling pointers. In Rust, you ignore it, you don't get it compiling - which forces you to think about them. The lifetime concerns are always present unless you're using a garbage-collected/reference-counted language.

My experience is that the Rust community is very tolerant and patient. Can you cite an example where a "loud evangelist" shames other people? Also, in my experience, when that happens they are criticised by the same Rust community.
