Devil’s advocate here : i think it’s due to the promise rust makes that borrow checkers prevent you from writing unsafe code or race conditions, as well as high level abstractions with zero performance cost.

That set of promises really would make any programmer go crazy i think, and become a zealot.

Rust is definitely on my todo list, i’m just waiting for the language to mature a little bit more, because some edges still seem a git rough. But i am extremely enthusiastic about it.

It's not free though. There's a hefty price to be paid in complexity. I am as "crazy" for Rust as I am for Ada.

I suspect that is one of the reasons why behemoths like Uber, Twitch.tv, Stripe and Walmart chose Go over Rust.

Rust doesn't prevent race condition.
