If you're thinking about building something in Rust, a good question to ask is, "what would I use if Rust didn't exist?"

If your answer is something like Go or Node.js, then Rust is probably not the right choice.

If your answer is C or C++ or something similar, then Rust is very likely the right choice.

Obv, there are always exceptions here, but this helps you work through things a bit more objectively. Rust can be a fantastic language for many purposes, but it has a very high development cost.
