Can someone please explain how Rust and frontend converge so often?

In my mind Rust is similar to C++ including the very ugly syntax and fixation on memory management, while frontend languages are well.. exactly not that. Why?

It’s fast to execute, easy to work with and easy to use a single binary distribution.

All points that make it popular to replace slower tooling on the frontend

Fair enough, however there are a lot of other areas of CS I would use Rust before frontend.

Also, easy to work with completely depends on personal preference but at least for me Rust isn’t too high on that ladder
