This opinion should only come from a CS grad who is accustomed to building CRUD apps and allergic to any real world problem domain.

At my work in insurance solutions we're solving perabyte scale problems. We do not have a Rust developer in the team, but taught ourselves with the AI and now automating workflows which took days to under a minute now.

Completely missing the point.

If you look at the speed a company rolls out new products/features, it should be obvious that "interesting ideas" especially good ones are infrequent and rare.

No offense, "using Rust to address a performance problem" is by no means novel or interesting. That is just another person's CRUD.

Using Rust is actually the most boring part of the problem. It would be almost impossible to solve for anyone without certain level of domain expertise.
