I write all my code in Rust because I am a Rustacean. In many of my custom LLM inference engine projects, the biggest fight has always been bindings. I don’t want to maintain and write bindings; also, if I use an existing project that provides bindings, then I have to wait for the owner to update or fork it and then maintain it on top. It has been a big headache. Running Rust core on GPU sounds like something I will try from day one. Kudos to the team and will watch it closely.

Why is Rust the only language to have literal acolytes? It's as if people believe they are part of some collective computer religion ushering in the messiah. Weird, man.
Hahaha, I have heard that argument. I generally love different programming languages. If you have written code a lot in C/C++ and have battle scars with security and null pointer handling, then Rust is definitely a breath of fresh air. It makes you feel why did I have to be even in that fight? It’s like driving stick your whole life in heavy traffic, and someone just handed you an automatic :) you didn’t realize how much mental overhead that was until it was gone.
Respect for addressing something that fundamental at the design level. If something deserves praise, it’s okay to praise it. Give it a try before writing it off as religion.

Whats new is old. Ada was that breath of fresh air for me. Safety through a type system with built in concurrency since 1983. Spark gives you provable safe code.

Eh, depends on the vehicle (weight, gearing, tires). My 2006 Civic was a dog in traffic but my 2002 Pathfinder was a breeze.
The longer you starve the more delicious the food tastes. Programming language advances were ignored by a significant number of folks for decades. The sudden relief of getting something like rust can leave a strong impact.
People also like community and rust has a decent one. It's not wrong for folks to want to feel part of a community they have shared interests or values with.
Have you never heard of Pythonistas, or Ruby fans, or Perl fans back in the day, or the how Java (plus a healthy dose of XML) were going to be the One True Language?

It's cute you think that Rust is the only language that has people who are whole converts.
Show me the proof.
The onus isn't on them to correct your incorrect generalizations. It is on you as a person to guide yourself. You can do it, I believe in you.
