    But why? It seems weird to choose your tools based on the language they are implemented in. I love Rust (it is my goto language) but I choose my tools based on what they do, not how they were implemented.

      Tools written in Rust are generally both performant and correct (few runtime crashes or other programming bugs). There arent many other languages with this combination of advantages.

        That seems like a big leap. I have seen many performant and buggy Rust tools.

        But either way, if your goal is to find tools that are performant and correct why not call it fastreliableyour.life? Focus on the actual direct benefits rather than implying them and excluding other tools that may fit your needs.
