There are many safe languages, but Rust is the only safe language with destructors.

This is untrue. Rust is unsafe in all aspects they are claiming to be safe. It's better than C, C++, or Go, but still type unsafe, memory unsafe and concurrency unsafe.

They are popular due to the wrong hype around their "safeties", and having a healthy community.

If you're concerned about the definition of a word, please go ahead and say what definition you prefer, rather than just saying "I disagree."
