> Other than safety and the like. I think these are some good points: https://github.blog/2023-08-30-why-rust-is-the-most-admired-language-among-developers/#what-makes-rust-special https://github.blog/2023-08-30-why-rust-is-the-most-admired-... On the one hand, "safety" avoids the "use after free" or other bugs which plague programs written in C. For systems programming, that is significant. On the other hand, the "safety" allows for much easier concurrency. The higher-level stuff like "pattern matching" is really nice. It's nice enough that it motivated efforts like https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo Somewhat implicit is that Rust has enough of a community that there are many good packages/libraries and tools around it.
