If Rust is the culprit, I guess it isn't
due to this speculation:
Imagine Rust failed, why did it fail?
https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/c93upr/imagine_rust_failed_why_did_it_fail/"climate change causes massively increased methane
offgassing in the Arctic, causing a runaway greenhouse
effect that eventually turns Earth into Venus,
destroying the biosphere before rust
can gain widespread adoption"
There are other signs that Rust is a failure, like here:

Maybe Scryer Prolog is a failure, because Rust
is a failure. Building Scryer Prolog on my machine,
after a git pull of a small change, did just
take this much time:
$ time cargo build --release

real 6m52.663s
user 7m39.043s
sys 0m3.241s
What did Rust do? And this tabling test case,
2000 shuttle, hangs:
/* Scryer Prolog 0.9.4-107 */
?- use_module(library(tabling)).
true.
?- [user].
:- table c/1.
c(X) :- c(Y), 0 =< Y, Y < 20000, X is -Y-1.
c(X) :- c(Y), -20000 < Y, Y =< 0, X is -Y+1.
c(0).
?- time(c(_)).
%%% hangs ? %%%
It is solved in a blink in SWI-Prolog:
/* SWI-Prolog 9.3.8 */
?- time(c(_)).
% 540,077 inferences, 0.047 CPU in 0.051 seconds (92% CPU, 11521643 Lips)
true .
The test case is from here:
