When I browsed GitHub repos. I came across some repos that implied "Because my thing is written in Rust, it automatically comes with a good performance, good scalability, etc". Jumping into a new language because people said it has good performance without actually understanding suited applications and the reason it gives a good performance seems to be a hype to me. It can be just my own bias. Maybe people out there already have a very solid understanding of Rust.

The times I've searched for Rust stuff on GitHub I've mostly found junk, like projects people wrote while they were learning Rust, also leaving them abandoned.

Maybe you should search around for solid projects and look into them in order to gain appreciation the language.

Or watch a couple of videos from Jon Gjengset, like his recent "Implementing (part of) a BitTorrent client in Rust" [0] while keeping in mind that the code he's writing is memory safe, which would probably not be the case with C at the same expertise level and speed of development. And considering that it is a BitTorrent client, one would definitely want it to be memory safe.
