Especially when the hype is added by a third party. This is an article about a hobby project written in a few weeks and yet the headline suggests it is somehow a serious contender for being added to Linux (right now at least. Maybe something grows out of this, most likely not)

I think this is ( or should have been ) obvious but also an interesting observation. At least it never came across my mind. The Hype driven feedback loop that generate a positive ( so to speak ) hype cycle.

The Rust community has definitely toned down a lot of their evangelism in the past 2 years. After obviously enough people came out to say enough is enough. But the third party continue the trend regardless.
