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.

You might not care for Rust but other people do. There is this concept called selling point where one highlight something of significance that helps one stand out from the rest. But you do you and if you find yourself running any program written in Rust, you would be a hypocrite.

I absolutely do use software written in rust and I do so because of its superior feature set or user experience. The fact that it's written in rust has so relevance to my interest in new software. If the defining feature is something that rust is known for like memory safety then say that in the headline instead.
