All of the above, and also: If it’s written in Rust, the tooling (Cargo; the Rust language server; etc) make it much easier than most other languages to jump in and fix something or add a new feature. I’ve contributed to projects written in Ruby, Python, Java, C#, C++, Haskell and many others, and every Rust project I’ve ever touched has been much easier/quicker to go from `git clone` to PR submitted. That may not be appealing to people who never fix or extend the software they use; for me, as someone who finds bugs and deficiencies in almost everything I lay eyes on, knowing that a piece of software is written in a language that is the least likely to frustrate me and suck up my time when I inevitably have to dive in and tweak something is a huge competitive selling point over similar software written in other languages.
