Sure, but the problem is when you have a community around that tool that insists otherwise.

Can you please give an example of that? Rust is very much advertised as a systems programming language. Can't really blame people for using it and going "oh it's harder than go and python"...

From the website:

> From startups to large corporations, from embedded devices to scalable web services, Rust is a great fit.

Are these "systems"? FWIW "systems" does not appear on the Rust home page.

From wikipedia:

> Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.
