Aside from arguments about performance and memory safety, I'm generally more likely to try something written in Rust (or Go) because projects in those languages tends to be easy to build or download as a static binary. For Rust projects, `cargo install <name>` generally works. On the other hand, when I see something written in C++ or Python, it's an indicator that there may be significantly more work involved

As a counterpoint - I'm generally more likely to avoid tools built in Rust or Go. Because I don't have their toolchains installed at all times. With tools written in C - I can often just clone repo and build it with one-two commands without clobbering my dotfiles or downloading big toolchains, that otherwise useless for me.

I agree with you on Python, but I also want to add Javascript. Just remembering trying to install something from npm sends shivers down my spine. Never again.
