While you'll hear Rust community often say "just wait until this new hotness", I'd like to clarify it's not like a perpetual "it will be the year of Linux Desktop".
Rust has already shipped everything it needed to be production ready. We're just always excited for the next big thing. Two years ago it was incremental compilation, last year it was a new borrow checker, this year it's async/await, etc.
This is also true. It really is about what you’re doing. Async/await in particular enables you to write idiomatic code, right now you have to twist it a bit and can’t do certain things. Other features? I agree with you.
