Script needs to be updated, Rust wasn't particularly popular back then (if it existed. I don't know how old this one is, but it's pretty old)

March 11, 2016 according to https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1654:_Universal_Install_Script

According to the Rust Wikipedia article, it was juuuust starting to be used in real things around that period. Definitely before it was popular.
