Rust is easy to understand as "a language by browser writers for writing browsers." That statement alone gives you most of Rust's design choices:
* Safety over everything else
* Very good single threaded performance
* Javascript-like syntax and a Javascript-like package manager
I have been working on some software in Rust recently that needs bit and byte manipulation, and we have "unsafe" everywhere and hugely complicated spaghetti compared to the equivalent code in C.
