But haven't you heard? Rust is fast and safe!!! You don't need to think applicability to your specific task and compare the tradeoffs, not when Rust is fast and safe!!!11!!!!!1!1!1! Nothing else is safe, certainly not basically every language other than C and C++; and nothing else has ever been fast either, it's not like even Java is fast enough to run on 2003-era microcontrollers embedded in tiny SIM cards!
