Would love to see more visuals to give it a bit more pop. You mention numbers - could we show graphs? We could also use logos to call out projects that use Rust now. |

Wording here feels awkward and a little confrontational. Could we use something like "In both cases, the people involved were C++ with years of experience and opted to use Rust for its benefits". I know, maybe wordsmith to give it some punch. IMHO main point: Rust stands on its own, we don't need to criticize other tech.

Maybe instead of "improve the clarity and focus of errors", can we say something like "improve the 'at a glance' readability of errors" or something like that? Clarity and focus is helpful, but our goal is on the developer understanding the error as fast as possible.

I bet there's some language that Elm pioneered that might make sense here.
