With certain rough edges like complex traits and Async aside, rust is an S-tier lang in several domains. Of interest:

  - Embedded
  - PC desktop applications
  - Computationally-intense scientific programming. (Chem, structural bio etc)
  - OSes, drivers etc
  - High-performance tasks in general. CPU, GPU, etc.

It's not a memory-safety one-trick pony; it's a well-rounded lang which has learned from its predecessors.
