Having "Learn More" buttons on Why Rust

[sophiajt]

We have these great "Learn More" buttons on "Build It In Rust".

I was thinking we could do something similar with "Why Rust?"

Each of these could point at a dig-deeper on the topics. We can wow folks with Rust's performance numbers, as we great apps and crates to talk about. Reliability let us talk about using Rust so you don't have to worry about your app, and we have some great pull quotes about reliability iirc. Productivity lets us talk about how much we care about ergonomics and how the user's workflow is important to us.

i think this is a good idea but likely out of scope for a beta as we'd need to create a new page for them to go to.

Agreed, this is a great idea! I'll put it on the end-of-year milestone for now; @jonathandturner maybe you and I can brainstorm a bit on what these other pages would contain?

Another possibility would be a single "Learn more" page (and button) with an extended section on each topic.

@aturon - let's do it

Is there any progress on this? After I delivered an "elevator pitch" about Rust to a couple of my work colleagues just one day before the switch to the new site, I am unsure how they would know about the nice technical overview about 0 cost abstractions and memory safety which caught my eyes and raised my interest when I landed on the old page for the first time.
