There are many concrete disadvantages to writing things in Rust too, not to mention rewriting. But you are right, these are different solutions and they thus have different characteristics.

As for your "as if it disproves their point" stuff is wrong. The fact is, the reply to a comment in a thread is not a reply to a different one. You are implicitly setting up a straw man like "See, you are saying there are NO advantages to using Rust over Fil-C" and I never said that at any point. I also didn't say that you said that there was no advantage to using Fil-C.

My point is that no one here defending Rust is trying to say that Fil-C doesn't offer anything useful or claim that Rust is better in all circumstances. When one person says "A is strictly better than B", and some people respond "Here are some cases where you'd still get benefits from B over A", coming in and saying "A is better in these other circumstances" isn't saying anything that people aren't already aware of.

Oh so you're a psychic now too? I think all kinds of people read these threads. Most of them probably aren't as aware as you're claiming, even the ones actively commenting on the topic.
