+## Why Rust?
+
+- **Performance:** Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
+
+- **Reliability:** Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
+
+- **Productivity:** Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool ([Cargo]), auto-formatter ([rustfmt]), linter ([Clippy]) and editor support ([rust-analyzer]).
