Even through it has some flaws, e.g. it’s not fully memory safe (there are some programming languages that are even safer, like Ada)?

      Just in my opinion. It’s probably a trending programming language right now. More loved than C or C++ by some developers

        It’s a hyped language because it solves many problems that has persisted with C and C++ - without having to rely on garbage collection.

        If anything, it’s underused. Not that I believe everything should be rewritten in Rust. That’s just stupid.

          As a C++ developer Rust’s borrow checker is very interesting - it promises to solve my issues with C++ without the issues that make other languages (ie Java, Python…) have in the real world. (remember we choose C++ for a reason, Java isn’t correct for our application - if Java is correct you should use that instead)

        You’re upset that new technology is displacing a 50 year old technology with a ton of well known flaws?
