usage or popularity or something like that.

Wow.

Because the feeling I have, again, in general, is that Rust is popping up in more and more places.

More companies are building on Rust.

Oxide is a good example.

They decided to go all in on Rust.

And there's a sense of Rust is becoming a popular place to build, I guess, high-performance applications, even increasingly contributing to the kernel.

As an engineer who...

might know other languages from TypeScript, Java, etc.

What would your pitch be on why it's worth checking out Rust or working with Rust?

Let's come from TypeScript.

It's one of the most popular languages right now.

How does it?

Yeah, and I guess there's also things like, can you forget to initialize a variable in Rust?

It doesn't allow you, right?

Yeah, and I guess the things with checking the format of incoming JSON, it also forces you to do that.

And again, yeah, so it helps you avoid errors.

And there's this thing which, again, I learned just very recently thanks to you as we're talking ahead of this, is the switch statement, right?

So in almost every language, you have a switch for an enum and you handle cases and then you might have a default or everything else.

And sometimes you forget one of them is not a big deal or maybe it's a big deal.
