Agreed that Rust has a bit of an odd fit -- it is in many ways a bit too onerous for day-to-day things like CRMs and web dev, but for the real scenarios where you want formal verification, you can of course also use actual formal methods and get a much higher degree of certainty perhaps. It is well suited for OS and driver dev though, which is arguably the target use case.

"It is well suited for OS and driver dev though"

Rust is brilliant, but for drivers, I would go for a language with OOM safety and strict static allocation, especially for embedded environments.
