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)?

    Let’s bring C into this discussion if we want to talk about overused languages which aren’t fit for purpose. 😂

    The ergonomics of Rust are better than C and C++, and programmer productivity is the metric which really matters.

    Rust is compiled, and compiled languages are easier to deploy. Especially statically compiled languages like Rust.

    Ada might better, but it needs to be updated.

    Ada compiler development is also tied to a company which is moving to Rust, and the gnat toolchain developed by Adacore is “Open Source”, eventually, maybe.
