I would add to the downside that it's not the best programming language for game development, etc. There was some blog post about how troublesome is it to develop games using Rust due to some of the features that are good in other areas, like the whole concept of "immutable by default".
I can also recommend D, if you want to deal with different issues, like the D Language Foundation fearing of change due to not wanting to deal with division from a new and incompatible version yet again, the GC being both a blessing and curse, if you want to go without a (tracing) GC you'll need to go with a custom runtime that potentially missing many of its features, the attribute hell, etc.
The guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
When someone is stating something like "best programming language", you immediately know he's fuck all and he's trying to sell you something...
