Rust definitively became a cult.
Humanity runs on C and C runs on devices that Rust devs can't even imagine they exist, but they want humanity to bend the knee to the god Rust.
This madness needs to stop.
I think couching the success and excitement around rust to ideology or a "cult" as you say is somewhat digging your head into the sand. There are concrete facts and results. Rust is empirically producing levels of memory safety that humanity did not think was possible with software at scale. This is truly groundbreaking.

If it has become a cult, it's become a cult that has infiltrated so far as DARPA - see their TRACTOR program (https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/translating-all-c-to...)

Nobody is questioning the results, just the evangelism.
