Well I'm not them. I'm just a regular old software developer.

Ecosystem is why I jumped ship from C++ to Rust. The difference in difficulty integrating a random library into my project is night and day. What might take a week or a month in C++ (integrating disparate build systems, establishing types and lifetimes of library objects and function calls, etc) takes me 20 minutes in Rust. And in general I find the libraries to be much smaller, more modular, and easier to consume piecemeal rather than a whole BOOST or QT at a time.

And while the Rust libraries are younger, I find them to be more stable, and often more featureful and with better code coverage. The language seems to lend itself to completionism.
