Aviation, Health, Space and Car industry have only 3 certified languages that they use. Ada, C and C++. Ada is dying because there are way less young engineers who want to invest their future learning it. Then there is C and C++ but they dont offer memory safety and its really hard to master and its really hard and long (thats what she said) to certify the code when being audited for safety by a tier company.
Rust solves by default (no need to review) like 2/3 of the standard requirements those industries have and are that found in C and C++. Rust will soon be approved in this group by the car industry.
Im not a rust fan, but I have 3 things to say about rust.
Its fun to program like C++ having the peace of mind knowing the compiler is there helping.
You dont feel like youre defusing a bomb like when writing C.
Even though its a fun language to write, its also really hard to master, itd say 2 years to be really proficient with it. There is just so much knowledge.

Ada SPARK is not dying at all, it’s growing. It is used where formal proof is required like and Rust is nowhere near that!
Whoa, Skippy. It’s not saving the world, it’s just coding properly.
