Ask HN: JavaScript and/or front end developers, why are you switching to rust?

I've met and read articles by a lot of JS devs who are enamored with Rust. I love Rust and c and c++ because I work at systems level and sometimes in backend for robotic systems. Even in these domains, uptake of rust is mostly experimental.

But I'm ignorant about the uses of Rust in frontend, or as a replacement for javascript in other areas.

Am I misreading the situation or are JS devs really wanting Rust, and why and for what types of projects?
