Choosing Rust instead of C or C++ for new projects is a rather light decision. But introducing it into or outright replacing legacy codebase with it is a rather phenomenal undertaking. Fish shell was completely rewritten. Linux is introducing it in no trivial way. I wonder if the woes with C/C++ is that bad.

For me the biggest issue is all the undefined behavior and unsafe memory.

Taking a look at libraries everyone uses where there are unsafe memory issues for years until someone finds them shows this quite nicely.
