Batch jobs seem like a good candidate for C++ because of how much faster a single instance will be. Multiplied across the size of the total job, that can represent enormous savings. On the other hand, using Rust for a web server with low QPS and atop a relatively novel web stack seems unnecessarily risky. The article does comment on Actix being a pain point.

My current job doesn't use Rust at all, but we're experimenting with converting some CLI tools. There should be relatively little library dependence for the things we're targeting.
