Performance, community, maintainability, scalability, and adaptability are hardly unique to Rust.

Its borrowing and ownership model is.

Syntax similar to C++ doesn't make it easier to learn. The similarity is extremely superficial.

For most people, it will require substantial effort to learn.

Rust is future-proof only if it stays near the top for many years. There is no guarantee of that. It is an article of faith. Ditto for foresight.

Rust's type system hardly makes software defect-free. Type-related errors typically represent a tiny percentage of real-world bugs.

There is zero evidence that Rust software have significantly fewer errors. Nobody has conducted any study on the matter. Again, this is an article of faith.
