I guess that's also one difference between Rust and us. Being researchers, we don't have the manpower to turn this into a working, industrial project, so we're hoping that the ideas percolate. Rust, in contrast, it trying to become the next big thing, maybe at the expense of having theoretical soundness results and papers in 10pt LaTeX :).
