What do you suggest would be better? Command-line tools, parsing and parallelism are all things that Rust excels at.

Why on earth would you need object lifecycle mem management for these things? These are points where Go excels as well. Rust is meant as a systems language, I'd love to have it as a general purpose lang as well, but it's not imho.
So you think Rust is a bad choice because... the programmers will need to deal with the borrow checker? I think it's been demonstrated that programmers are fine with that.
