Rust has been seeing a lot of adoption from Python devs too, in part because of crates like PyO3 making interop fairly easy. I think Rust's appeal (and Go's for that matter) in these cases is that it offers high performance without a lot of the footguns of C and C++. This means that even if the language is challenging at first, the pay off is far more confidence that the compiled program is correct. It is curious that Rust seems to be the overwhelming favourite for new JS/TS tooling. The appeal of static typing from TS carrying over to Rust seems plausible, but in this case, the developer is favouring JS over TS for the initial rewrite, so I'm not sure how true that is.
