I'm glad to see there's a wide range of opinions here.

I'm not too concerned with performance or safety (since my code hasn't been seen very often).

I use rust just because it has a lot of "libraries that help me develop".

While other language libraries have a poor search experience and ranking system, Rust has a great library search system.

I use it because I don't have to read blog posts like C/C++ or java to find libraries that help me develop, or wade through unnecessary libraries like C# or go, I can use the rankings, and it has a good documentation system.
