Originally, what drew me most to Rust I guess were (in following order):

  1. Complex compiled language with momentum that was not C++ (back when I was still mostly a C/Python dev... now, it just looks like Haskell for Modern C++ devs)

  2. Claims of speed + memory safety (esp around multithread type stuff - a big one coming from several bad Python codebases that struggle with concurrency issues)

  3. Didn't have "cuddled else" / "caterpillar ifs" hard coded into the syntax (cough Go)
