Hello, author here - The choice to use rust mainly came from the fact I have more experience with it than with C++. Also, the compiler makes it really easy to write good code.

This, along with really simple testing, benchmarking and the ease of adding dependencies (through crates) made it a good choice. There are almost no downsides from using rust, provided you have experience with it!
