What's the definition of "Rust bandwagon"?

If you mean rewriting cat and ls in Rust, yeah, of course that's
stupid. Just like it would be stupid to rewrite them in GoLang, Haskell,
or assembler. If it works don't fix it.

But if you mean that Rust is a bad language, I'd like to hear why you
think that. It's much safer than C, and its compiler messages are much
more educational than almost any other language.
