What is rust and why is it bad? Can someone explain it in laymen's terms?

It seems to be designed to be (subtly but fundamentally) susceptible and vulnerable to trusting-trust attacks and the extreme push for using Cargo (it seems mandatory these days) is prime for supply-chain attacks by nation-state level adversaries.

And the irony is that it's pushed for "security" reasons when it has nothing over e. g. Java when it comes to security, makes the paranoid part of me very suspicious of it. Enough that anything I run that contains rust-code I wrap in a custom sandbox (as well as all rust builds). Glowies will have to wrestle with some obscurity if they want my niggerposting.

Regarding the Rust question. I'm not a coder, but Rust appears to be a relatively new language. If the mass adoption of Rust is seen as a cultural problem in part everyone supporting 'out with the old in with the new' mentality. Doesn't that suggest when the next meme language drops, everything will be rewritten again? Will the Rust cheerleaders gatekeep the Rust rewrites and condemn the newer language?

What I'm asking is if there's a likelihood of another better language to be expected right around the corner? Rust will lose it's cool shine eventually.

Yes, we had this exact situation with Java (go back a decade, there's Java reimplementations of everything), only Java had more buzzwords (write-once etc.).
