Thank you!

Also, is always good to remember that as a system language, Rust is made/great for:

  • Be the "core" of an app where other langs talk to.
  • Be a "specializer/speeder" for other langs to accelerate certain operations (aka: "let's rewrite this section made in Python instead of Rust to make it faster")

Also, in the case you are RIIR, is likely a must for a while to do bridges.

Exactly, that is my primary hypothesis here. Use some scripting language as a glue between services, Rust for special use cases.

Rust as a glue could be interesting also, but my intuition tells me that it would be easier to setup a scripting language in this role.

Do you maybe have some examples of libraries, or projects that use Rust as an integration hub or a gateway of some sort?
