Even through it has some flaws, e.g. it’s not fully memory safe (there are some programming languages that are even safer, like Ada)?

    Well, it’s not “overused”. It has a lot of loud fans who evangelize it (for good but - to a lot of people - exhausting reasons).

    IMO the only “overused” language would be C++ because it’s the backbone of quite a lot of our software stacks, almost everyone learns it, it was made ages ago - and thanks to its age - it has memory safety issues among other issues. It’s not a bad language, though.

    My job is to write C++, but I would love to see Rust climb even further in user share.
