Many, after doing a review of Rust, say they don't like or will stop using it. It's very premature to declare it has "won", whatever that can be said to mean. Example, ThePrimeTime[1] (famous YouTube programmer) is another stating he does not like Rust anymore, and rather use some other language.

It appears part of the controversy surrounding Rust, is that many are of the opinion that it's not worth it because of the limited use case, poor readability, complexity, long compile times, etc... and that appears to be what certain advocates of Rust are not understanding or appreciating the difference in opinions. Rust is fine for them, specifically, but not for everyone.
