Why we chose Rust

On the other hand, in a static typed language, a large number of errors are caught early stage in the development process, and static typing usually results in compiled code that executes faster because when the compiler knows the exact data types that are in use, it can produce optimized machine code. Type safety is one of the Rust’s biggest selling point and is the reason Rust topped as most loved language for 3 consecutive years in StackOverflow Surveys. Despite the fact that you’re doing things like manual memory management that you do in C++, Rust has a lot of features and conveniences that almost make it feel like a high-level language.
