Is there a particular reason why specifically Rust is used? Is it the new C++?

So we have to build a project on distributed systems, but we cant use kubernetes . So we were thinking of going on the task schedular road and chose that filed in distributed systems. And e thought of building a media processing based task shcedular. Can i know your thoughts on this what is best , and any industrial current needs or holes you see? This is a middleware project by the way and we are trying to build it as a good project to put in our CV's.

When I was in high school, I was a C student, I'm a slow learner

Anyway I managed to learn how to build To Do List in C# and Java with e.g. API, SQL and also learn to understand what recursive is.

But when I check trendly github repo right now like OpenClaw or REA, the reverse engineer.

I don't understand shit, it is like I know plus and minus, and those github repo is like Calculus.

Maybe someone here who started from Hello World and now you are coding Wizard, maybe you can help me out here...
