Are you saying Rust is being used in places that you feel C/C++ should be used, and you don't think Rust belongs? Or maybe you are saying Rust is being used in places where C/C++ are not typically used, and you don't feel it belongs there?

The closest thing to context you've given is that you feel Rust has flaws (all languages do), and that Ada is perhaps safer. It's really hard to give any kind of answer without a properly fleshed out question.

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)

You’re upset that new technology is displacing a 50 year old technology with a ton of well known flaws?
