Well, it really is. Went for Rust from Python and gained faster execution - wooow, no waaaay. No other language can do that (sarcasm, and to add more to it: did they ever try to actually optimise code first?)
The way to really optimize Python code, is by reducing the amount of Python code in your program, since Python itself is dog slow. Instead, you want to offload as much of the work as possible to modules written in compiled languages. So completely switching to Rust, or another compiled language, is simply taking that strategy to its logical conclusion
Why not? Of course people who make something (in this case, a programming language) are going to promote what they make and share praise they’ve received. It’s a pretty normal thing to do. They’re not trying to obscure the fact that they’re the Rust Foundation—it’s on the Rust blog.
Honestly, I could not make myself read till that critique part. As much as I would like to hear what Rust actually is good for, that article is yet another cheap advertisement
It kinda feels like cheating for rust to publish a list of reasons why rust people like rust…
I like rust too, but this feels more like advertising than useful commentary on the language and its tools.

Did you read the post? It ends with several critiques of Rust.
