It's doing something novel in the systems programming space, and makes a bunch of different trade-offs compared to Rust. That's interesting, even if you might reasonably conclude that Rust is still a better language to use in most cases. It's good to explore different corners of the programming language design space. Every single commonly-used programming language has a couple red flags, often much more than a couple. Javascript, C, C++, Go, Python - these languages all have serious flaws and are nonetheless used by extremely large numbers of people for all sorts of tasks.
