Getting some strong ChatGPT vibes from the overall sectioning and some stylistic flags, e.g. the "This isn't X, it's Y" meme appears many times as an intro to paragraphs or sections, e.g. "This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s something more mundane and more durable: structural incentive alignment". There are lots of (spaced) em-dashes, and the overall rhythm, tone, and length of things is very ChatGPT.
The way the references are sort of lazily clustered also to me strongly looks like they could have been pasted from a ChatGPT Extended Thinking sidebar: if you were doing this kind of research organically, you'd just more clearly be able to link your references to each clause that is is relevant, with appropriate enumeration. I would bet with about 90% certainty that this was mostly done via ChatGPT with Extended Thinking.
There is also not much discussion and/or consideration that, well, perhaps Rust is being adopted because it actually does provide strong guarantees in combination with things like being modern, having cargo, being fast, and etc. bla bla bla. The proposed alternatives of ADA, modern C++, and hardware optimization just feel laughably out of touch.
It's a weak post overall, but I do really appreciate the documentation of some of the financial ties involved in supporting / boosting Rust.
