> It's genuinely difficult to understand why Rust gets rammed down everyone's throats lately
Most software companies have a revolving door of developers and they need cookie cutter tools to limit the damage a "bad" developer can cause. In the 1990's Java OOP was hyped as the solution to procedural spaghetti code (because it is impossible to architect good software without objects), in the 2010's it was web frameworks (because it is impossible to build a web app without a framework), and in the 2020's it is Rust (because it is impossible to write C/C++/Assembly without memory bugs). The Rust hype cycle is yet another Big Corp push for more guardrails.
