>"Because it's written in Rust" is a pretty good argument

..no, it isn't?

That's like saying you would buy a specific car because the factory it was made in is better than other car factories.

It is an argument, yes. Not a pretty good argument unless there's something specific about this project that is better because of Rust.

> factory…

I agree with your point but the analogy is bad. I would definitely buy a car based on factory. Reliability, order time, parts availability, etc.

>based on factory. Reliability, order time, parts availability, etc.

Do you see the nuance here? The argument only makes sense when the details make sense.

Don't they though?
