Then why Ada isn't used more in servers?
See, people don't care about safety, they tend to want the language to get out of the way. C++ does that because it does not get in the way of a C standard library. Or other system specific stuff.
Rust gets in the way enough that the benefit seems not worth it, and it brings few benefit in the server space over, say, Java if performance is not the paramount concern.
