- great standard library, especially all the iter methods. having 'obscure' stuff like `try_for_each` just makes me so happy as a dev
- unit tests built into the lang
- tooling is great
- docs are top notch
The memory safety aspect is... sometimes helpful, sometimes irritating. I prefer zig solution (BYO allocator, special one for testing that reports errors) over rusts, which simplifies a lot of stuff and lets you make cyclical data structures without a lot of hoop jumping.
