Im not a rust programmer, so to each their own I guess. To me it is pretty easy to spot weird lisp code while rust is a headache to me. However as far as I know rust also has macros and unsafe options. Im also wary of anything that markets itself as "safe" because overconfidence is enemy of safety

The point about crypto assets is that you dont normaly use an editor to interact with it (or any full blown computation) and security is pretty straighforward. However if you are developing a software product it is less straighforward. You will use an IDE, probably some third packages, etc. Lots of ways something can go wrong
