Interesting. Usually I'm hit with the "Appeal to Novelty" logical
fallacy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_novelty ). This is
its mirror image sibling, "Appeal to Tradition"
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition ), again a logical
fallacy.

The age of a piece of software doesn't necessarily correlate with its
quality. Furthermore, Rust is now 13 years old, so it's no newborn baby.
