I've never heard of memory synthesizers. I'll cede the point that some of Rust's advantages are merely psychological. But I would argue that most of us are tired, frustrated, and working on teams where we have neither the energy nor authority nor teaching experience to make everyone learn the right tools. I've had to teach some coworkers how to use a profiler. And then remind them to use it. Therefore mere psychological benefits still improve outcomes. It's easier to memorize "cargo run" than to memorize the vocabulary quizzes for Python or Kotlin tooling. (A gradle is used to serve soup. A wheel is part of a car.) Rust produces one binary by default, and I don't even have to think about how to bundle a runtime. That means I also don't need to teach anyone what Docker is. I have a hunch this actually matters. Everyone who's learning to program right now will be deep in their work in 20 years. So every software that's succeeded in my lifetime - JavaScript, Python, Unity 3D, etc., has succeeded by appealing to noobies and then lasting long enough that everyone likes it. In the very long term, a low barrier to entry might matter as much as a high skill ceiling.
