Wheelerof5te said Rust is becoming the "world's best *compiled, safe* language". You objected to this, but then only listed alternative languages which aren't in that group. You responded as if Wheelerof5te had claimed there was "an objectively best language period".
They are scripting languages able to call C code, by definition they are glue languages.
If I say something like "world's best chef" then I mean the person who is best at being a chef. Not the world's best (most moral?) person who happens to also fulfill the definition of being a chef but may be pretty bad at cooking. I think the same was intended here for "best glue language" - best at being a glue language.
