What's the hype about Rust

I've been seeing post about Rust everywhere and I got curious so I checked the repo. However, I'm not sure what is it for.

Is it like C/C++, low level languages that can be used for desktop and CLI, or is it a AI-oriented, etc?

Give me an example like "it could replace C#" or something.

    It's supposedly a low level language like C/C++ but safer and with more modern features I think? But of course that doesn't mean it can't be used for other things. Check out a project called 'ripgrep'; it's almost a drop on replacement for regular GNU grep, but with more features and better performance.

    Meeh, I don't know. I have a strong C/C++ background myself and to me, Rust looks pretty weird and it's enforced memory model actually bothers me quite a lot
