Rust Programming

I will add an other perspective that is rarely mentioned: because it pollutes less. The same way you would say why choose a car based on the fuel type it uses.

See if you consider the amount of energy wasted running interpreted languages and other fancy bloated runtimes, and consider what should we do in an ideal world where hamans respect nature and do not make things for the sole purpose of profit, then choosing your tools based on the amount of energy they use to run doesn't seem so far fetched anymore.
