This is our company. Frankly, I don't agree with this approach. We're a hedge fund that uses Java for low latency trading systems. Someone pushed for Rust to be used for a new project, because they wanted to use it, and now we have a split codebase. We have duplicate code (eg. connections to external APIs) written in Java and Rust, and now we have two sets of code to maintain whenever one of those APIs change.

I always get annoyed when I hear about people suggesting to push for a language in a company because they feel it would be a good fit. Sure, maybe it would be, but now the company will always require experts not in one language but two, and developers are no longer as fungible between teams.

Having said that, from a selfish perspective, I will use it to write some production Rust code in the future.
