"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?
The memory safety is really the killer app, though. The only way to achieve that before was garbage collection, which is costly in some applications.
Like, you can make a case for the rest, but literally every newish language has people making similar claims.
