It doesn't. Use C#, Java, or even python. If you're low level and dealing with low level code and constructs, you're better off using C, or C++ just for the language features like templates.

Rust is genuinely only useful for the niche application of a desktop application, that doesn't reach low level, but you need a bit more fine grain controls than C# or another higher level language will allow. For example, a web browser is like the ideal usecase for Rust, and it makes sense, since that's really where it's got most of it's teeth with Mozilla.

I personally don't see why you would do something like Grep, in Rust, when C#, Python, Go, exist. But I do see like Unreal Engine or again, Firefox/webbrowser in Rust being nice.
