"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?

Because most projects are worked on by multiple people, and you shouldn't trust that everyone who will work on something will have the same skill level as you

If there are two languages otherwise equivalent in NFRs, where one lets you make the mistakes and the other doesn't, you're a bit silly if you don't pick the latter.

Good engineers shouldn't struggle to use a different language, so that's not an argument
