Implementing an NES emulator is a great way to learn more about a language and the internals of the NES (which is well documented). It's sorta like a rite of passage and has been done in most of the "newer" languages like Nim (https://github.com/def-/nimes) , Go (https://github.com/fogleman/nes)

It seems that unsafe references were used, so the advantages of Rust appear to have been somewhat relinquished in this case.

The author doesn't really suggest that Rust was chosen for any particular reason. A few benefits are mentioned but they aren't really specific to emulators.

It's actually "rite of passage" as in latin "ritus".

Well-documented, but many sources are contradictory. For such well researched hardware, there is a lot to be confused about when researching this topic by yourself.

It's probably because implementing an emulator is highly rewarding and easy enough, hence makes it more exciting during learning a new language and NES is extremely well-documented.
