To be clear, my job description is "doc writer". I've been posting a ton on HN for _years_, and advocating for Rust before I ever had a job working on it. At the time that post was written, I was a contractor, and it wasn't clear if I was ever going to stay on with Mozilla; historically, I've told everyone this was a short-term gig, though my feelings on that have been changing a bit.
Regardless of that, if you ever hear me saying Rust is a "panacea" or "immediately re-write everything [in Rust]", call me out on it. I don't agree with either of those positions. I want people to accurately understand what's going on, not mislead them.
(I _do_ want to see more people using Rust, because I love it, but not everyone will also love Rust, and that's totally fine.)
Having idled around the same tech watering holes as you have for years, I'd think they'd have to make a significant effort to keep you from talking about it. ;)
