Serious reply to meme post incoming:

I love using rust and I think the reason for it is interesting. Because very few people actually care about memory safety without garbage collector (including me, I would gladly use a language with a garbage corrector as well).

For me at least, the actual reasons are

1. It has familiar curly brace syntax without significant whitespace
2. It has many functional language features, which I love
3. Something something thread safety
4. Managing versions and compatibility is extremely easy thanks to rustup and great backwards compatibility
5. Getting set up with the tooling is very quick and easy
6. The official lsp server just works and is really good
7. The official formatter is heavily opinionated and I love it (never have to think about code formatting)
8. The language is turning me into a cute girl
9. Managing dependencies and packages is nice thanks to an official package manager existing and being really good
10. Deployment is easy thanks to it compiling to a binary that depends on next to nothing

So yeah, what I like about rust doesn't actually have too much to do with the language itself, more the experience around it, although I also really like the language itself. It's just a very complete package.
