I would point you to the pivotal blog post that describes how the inventor discovered The language of the network …cracked this project right open.

A lot of us have been here for about a year now and it’s only quite recently that RUST has come into the picture. It’s a testament to RUST that the Devs seemed to have ramped up efficiency whilst still learning the language…it seems RUST has allowed a variety of software disciplines to participate in Core development that would not have been possible with C++
The RUST community should be very excited and proud of the exposure and opportunity that Project SAFE presents…the wild west is back and were all chasing SAFEcoin :).
RUST guys get to be miners, builders and core developers.
