Rust is great for writing stuff that needs to be stable with little downtime, for anything that needs to change a lot rust is not there yet, it has lots of sharp corners like not being able to make a factory interface that returns another interface (thogh this is coming in a few months), in general it's hard to do non-leaky abstractions in rust ATM, I do think it will get there in a few years once the few sharp corners are gone.

But having made a microservice in rust it is the most stable software I ever written, you are basically paying upfront any null reference and thread safety issue I would have needed to debug. It probably did not save me time, but it definitely was a better experience to write
