The parent is not fanboying Rust much. Instead this looks like an interesting exchange of insights and opinions.

I actually want to learn why people seem to really like Rust even it's "just" like a "Scala light".

What was deemed "too complex" or "academic" in Scala is now everybody's darling in Rust. This is actually quite interesting.

I'm looking for hints how to resolve the marketing issue with Scala.

The other comment was meant more lighthearted and shouldn't be read out of context.
