Comparing with JS ecosystem is very telling. Some early Rust developers, come from the JS ecosystem (especially at Firefox), and Cargo takes inspiration from the JS ecosystem, like with lock files. But JS ecosystem is a terrible baseline to compare with regarding stability. Comparing a language's stabilitity with JS ecosystem says very little. You should have picked a systems language to compare with.
And your post is itself a part of the Rust community, and it itself is an argument against what you claim in it. If you cannot or will not own up to the 1.80 time crate debacle, or mention the 1.80 time crate debacle proactively as a black mark that weighs on Rust's conscience and that it will take time to rebuild trust and confidence in Rust's stability because of it, well, your priorities, understood as in the Rust community's priorities, are clear, and they do not, in practice, lie with stability, safety and security, nor with being forthcoming.
