Why is Rust being an overused programming language today? (fedia.io)

Even through it has some flaws, e.g. it's not fully memory safe (there are some programming languages that are even safer, like Ada)?

If you learn Rust, you'll find that you'd choose it over C/++ even without the brrow checker. Every little part of the development experience is just so much better.

Maybe. I have millions of lines of c++ and making rust work with them will often be more work than just implementing the feature in c++
