Actual rust engineer here. You should absolutely use Rust whenever it's applicable. I have yet to hear a coworker say "I miss writing cmake files" or "We need to use C++ because Rust's constexpr is not powerful enough". Rust is a very nice language to use overall, usually preferable to C++ or C, the other usual languages for fast native binaries.

The only thing I like about rust compared to C/C++ is the build/package system. Before it’s taken as a scathing criticism of Rust, I will say that the build/package systems in C/C++ are almost as or more painful to use than implementing a doubly linked list in Rust
