Yeah, the language that:
- has been around stable for over 6 years and was already somewhat popular years before that
- is the first real contender to C in the Linux kernel, with support from its BDFL and a lot of work going on, and well those devs know a bit more of pain points in complex systems that need to go fast.
- is used in of the major Browsers while the most popular one is contemplating starting to use it
- allows refactoring and cleaning up code so nicely, it's just marvellous if one actually worked on big code bases previously to rust, as either one had ten static checkers and three times the amount of CI pipelines as required bolted on, or just risk quite a bit every time something was touched.
- deep and mature integration of tests and docs and doc-test (those are damn nice)
- want me to continue? I got a few more points
surely is a fad ;-)
Look, you do not need to use Rust if you do not want too, but living in denial about that Rust has seen a good rate of adoption and that it also has its uses as valid Language to do stuff nowadays, is just not a good thing to do mentally nor socially.
