@yyp Nobody cares about the language, but some people care about the quality.
Rust provides some guarantees to developers that other languages don't.
So, to me "rust" is short for "going to crash less" and "not full of exploits, and "can still be fast".
To my Rust zealot side, it also means "you can turn it into your own easily because you don't have to learn a lot of new stuff". Code forges are full of non-casual users, after all.

@mobiuscog @yyp It's worth remembering that most other high level languages are just as memory-safe and nearly as fast (Java is JIT-compiled these days).
Not everything is CPU-bound or needs a solid type system, so Rust has viable alternatives.
