The only reason I've heard of people moving to Rust is that it has been designed to help prevent some common programming pitfals that lead to bugs in software (such as more protection against memory leaks, etc.).  It seems reasonable to me..  Even the best & most careful programmers with C & C++ can make mistakes sometimes that lead to software bugs.
