It does make stuff great. Even Microsoft is trying out Rust in their removed operating system because apparently 30% of all CVEs are related to, you guessed it, memory issues. And Rust will most likely solve them all.
Even the Linux kernel has Rust code in it now. If Rust was not of importance, why would the Linux kernel get rusty? Especially Linus Torvalds is very strict about these things.
Sure, bad code rewritten in Rust does not make it any better than it originally was.
Plus you get C-like speed with good syntax and memory safety, what more could you ask for?
