> Rusts popularity has always been the combo of safety and performance, otherwise you might as well just use C#

Combined with the ability to compile to a single native binary, having a solid package management solution, a fairly advanced type system, and a solid selection of nice language features. Usually you need to give up at least one of those.

Had some headaches with nuget, and C# type system isn't as advanced as Rust or TypeScript, even less so in comparison to Haskel (still solid notheless), but it really is a solid choice. Specially in comparison to Java.
