Thank God this VMM is written in Rust, otherwise I would be very skeptical. I don't care about features or purpose or technical advantages, give me Rust or give me death.

For real, I find it so odd to tack on "written in Rust" to every new project that's announced that uses Rust. (As someone who uses Rust in their day job)

That'd be a poor criteria. C++ is now an immature language:

Considering the continual revisions in C++ of fundamental things like pointers and strings, arguably this is not incorrect…
