Because they're justifying a project whose sole difference to the other implementation is the language its written in.

  So it's more like a "Look, it's possible to do this in Rust!" than "We did it in Rust, and we believe it's better because ..." ?

    It literally says why it is better and you even quoted it: > However, those projects are written in platform-specific C, a language considered unsafe compared to Rust Or to paraphrase it using your wording: "We did it in Rust and we believe it is better because it does not have memory unsafety issues that are the number #1 reason for security issues every year"

      So without playing dumb or anything, you say they say: "We have security issues every year because we program in unsafe languages like C, and to solve this, we should start rewriting things in Rust because it's 'memory safe'." Amazing!
