Thanks for the reply ScottPJones. I've seen your name pop up in multiple Julia discussions and am eager to hear more from you. In another comment you've said that you've used this in two separate commerical applications. Can you share the use cases that your commerical applications tackle?

I do need to choose one, given the time and budget that I will have to work on this. I do understand that if there are things that I cannot do in Julia, I would be able to call out to a Rust shared library using FFI, but I don't expect my use case to need it. I'm likely going to have to build a library that can be called from Julia/Python/Java etc. The question is whether to build that library in Rust or Julia. Rust has more solid C ABI support at the moment. But I'm hoping PackageCompiler.jl and other niceties come along and make the Julia shared library interlop better too.
