> I don't see much overhype coming from Rust practitioners

That is like saying I don't see much overhype about AI from machine learning engineers. I am a ml engineer, and like myself great majority of ml engineers will tell you that there is certainly overhype about the field and do not engage in the overhype. Which is not to say that the field isnt producing some really cool results

> I've yet to see people (incorrectly) extend this to a claim that Rust solves all security problems, which would meet the definition of overhype.

Ive seen plenty of questionable Rust rewrites due to solving security problems

> Python is a great rapid development language

Saying to a Lisper that Python is a great rapid development language is like selling Rust safety to an Ada person :)
