It's good for things that don't involve ripping through terabytes of data, which is actually a lot of things. And idk if I'd use Java for that either.

I'm actually in this exact position right now. The vast majority of the time I write in TS but I have a need to process a whole lot of data so I went for Rust instead. Java is too much of a headache for me, personally
Yeah, Rust is fast, or you can go the other extreme with Python if you can put the heavy lifting on native modules.
