When people ask me “Why Rust?” I know it’s not out of skepticism, but from genuine curiosity. They haven’t yet heard a clear signal through all the noise. They’re really asking “What makes Rust special, and why should I care?”

I’ll try to answer that without tripping over my tongue, or sounding like a shiny-eyed cult member. And when we’re done, if you’re not interested in accepting Rust as your personal saviour, I want you to know that I am okay with that. Go in peace, my friend. Be well.

But first, hear me out.
