I mean honestly who cares? its their time. I use rust over c/c++ these days for practical reasons.

1. the toolchain is better. (cargo ala)

2. maintenance of the software is better. (static linked binaries, easier deploys)

3. memory safety.

4. resource consumption (cpu/ram)

when I don't need 4 I use golang (most cases) because of 1, 2, and 3.

and I choose tools (all other things being equal) written in rust for the same reasons.
