There is zero benefit to using Rust vs. C++ in a high-performance and memory-safe network server. C++ is better in every way you could think of.

(Rust is good idea, but about 10 years immature. Come back in 2029.)

Except for, you know, the part where Rust is actually memory-safe and C++ isn't.

It's possible and actual not difficult to write memory-safe C++ code. In the last several years the C++ projects I worked on had close to zero memory issues (I cannot recall any). I think with the advancements of C++14/17 memory issues is a largely solved problem.
