This came from a real decision we had to make while building a new startup inside an existing company. It’s less about Rust itself and more about how those decisions actually play out.
We tried Rust in a few small places to make the trade-offs clearer. Happy to expand if useful.
We work in Rust, Java/Quarkus, C, C++, LLVM and Python ...

The company as a whole uses a pretty wide range of languages, but for this project the baseline was Java/Quarkus. The discussion wasn’t “are we allowed to use Rust?”, but whether bringing it in for this new component made sense given team ownership, ops, and how early the project still was.
