Even through it has some flaws, e.g. it’s not fully memory safe (there are some programming languages that are even safer, like Ada)?

According to who?
Just in my opinion. It’s probably a trending programming language right now. More loved than C or C++ by some developers
It’s a hyped language because it solves many problems that has persisted with C and C++ - without having to rely on garbage collection.
If anything, it’s underused. Not that I believe everything should be rewritten in Rust. That’s just stupid.
As a C++ developer Rust’s borrow checker is very interesting - it promises to solve my issues with C++ without the issues that make other languages (ie Java, Python…) have in the real world. (remember we choose C++ for a reason, Java isn’t correct for our application - if Java is correct you should use that instead)
If you learn Rust, you’ll find that you’d choose it over C/++ even without the brrow checker. Every little part of the development experience is just so much better.
You’re upset that new technology is displacing a 50 year old technology with a ton of well known flaws?
