Same for me with Elixir. I love that little thing so much but there are workloads where it objectively shouldn't be used -- for web apps it's definitely one of the best picks out there but that's a different topic.

I've lately been writing several Rust tools and mini apps and have admitted to myself that even if a language stack clicks with you almost perfectly, you should still reach out to other tools when appropriate.

Even us the senior devs forget that, and it pays to get reminded of it every now and then.
