Why do so many Rust projects lead with telling you their number one feature is type safety? It’s Rust we get it, stop telling us about your type safety!

Also, what problem is this solving that countless other near identical web frameworks don’t already solve?

Even with an opinionated type system, it's possible to slack off a bit. There are different degrees of strictness/specificity when composing types.

Most projects use buzzwords like that though.

- Safe! - Blazing fast! - Powerful! - Elegant! - Shiny! - Modern!

You know, marketing stuff that tells you absolutely nothing about the software itself but is required to fill space on a website.

The thing is, a boring "Benchmarks" heading in the README doesn't get you as many GitHub stars as a "Blazingly fast!" heading+icon. And you know how addictive Internet Points can be.

A few devs are over enthusiast and missed the 80/90's wave of safe systems languages.
