I don't see any benefits (for me, the user) if its written in Rust. Yes, Rust has nice features for more security+stability for the developer, but just because a JS Engine would be written in Rust wouldn't mean its automatically better than V8. It's not the programming language that gives the edge in this case, it is the amount of time, sweat and grease that went into V8. And other engines would have a long way to come.
