Very few resources: What kind of resources are missing? I'm learning Rust myself and the available documentation is amazing for a language that young.
Small community, again, as opposed to what? The freenode #rust channels are packed. There is a huge amount of libraries already.
Disreputable maintainer: Please clarify.
"Without an incentive to exist" I'd say there's plenty of incentive: people doing systems programming that are dissatisfied with the available options.
There's some overlap with Golang and there Google's resources could be enough to push Rust out. But that's it.
Frankly, this sounds like baseless ranting.
The bit about standardization is very amusing too. C++ was always standardized. The standard was full of undocumented behavior, so different compilers would often compile the same code in different, sometimes broken, ways. All the while conforming to the standard. When they conformed at all.
Rust has one standard: the reference implementation. Would you be happier if the community formed a committee?
Disclaimer: I'm in no way involved with the community or affiliated with Mozilla. I'm just an interested observer.
The way you keep invoking "disreputable maintainers" in your posts attacking Rust speaks volumes, I think.
I picked Rust recently and I was building small trivial but useful apps day 1, nontrivial apps 1st week, and a fairly large project in 2 months. The irc channels were great and hugely helpful, the documentation was mostly really good, and Mozilla has seemed to do a fantastic job running the project.
