Hi @iamaamunir,

Your outline is good. Would you be willing to include images displaying statistics comparing Rust with other programming languages? Stats from sources like Stack Overflow, New Stack, etc.

Could you also mention some top companies using Rust to align with the heading in your outline "Why do companies like Rust?"

Please let me know.
