    I’m not sure I understand why people like Rust over C, although I don’t have that much experience in enterprise coding.

    I’d actually say that Rust is more popular in open-source projects. The reason people like it is because it’s WAY safer than C or C++ while being literally just as fast if not faster. I’m still in the process of learning it though so I can’t speak to your other points.

    It is worth mentioning that the White House recommends Rust over C/C++ due to its very notable safety advantage over classic languages.

      How can Rust be faster than C? What is faster than unabstracted direct memory management?
