I find the attitude of the Ladybird devs refreshing though, and it kinda aligns with my opinions about Rust.

I never fell in love with Rust or got particularly excited about adopting it. But, I just don't see a serious alternative (maybe Swift is fine for some cases but not in my field).

I believe Google's Rust journey was even more closely aligned with Ladybird: "we want memory safety, but with low impedance mismatch from C++". After like 5 years of trying to figure something like that out they seemed to go "OK actually fuck that we just have to use Rust and deal with the challenges it brings for a C++ shop".
