Do you have any suggestion to maintain hype at a reasonable level? Basically, a lot of people are excited about it, a lot of people are writing good libraries, and they blog about them, which feeds into the hype cycle.
I think the main hype danger for rust right now is that the number of killer applications written it will fall short of the hype. But the linked article is from someone writing redox-os, so it's hard to criticize this article specifically for contributing to overhype.
Ruby had the opposite problem, which is that a lot of people were writing amazing applications, but it fell down technically (applications got messier and slower; or at least that is the perception). In theory the same thing could happen to rust, but it seems less likely.
