I hope so, it was too much hyped for my taste.
Just remembering on the trifecta they promised, safe, concurrent 
and fast and that all with ownership/borrowing.

The truth is however, that borrowing is too limited to achieve 
concurrency treating your program literally to cooperative 
exclusive threading only.

Therefore, RC and ARC must be used instead which on the other 
hand eventually lead to unsafe code.

It was also hyped that borrowing/ownership replaces GC, but what 
I see in most codebases is the use of RC structures, just because 
they are more convenient.
