This came from a real decision we had to make while building a new startup inside an existing company. It’s less about Rust itself and more about how those decisions actually play out.
We tried Rust in a few small places to make the trade-offs clearer.
Happy to expand if useful.
Java was the baseline for this project, yes. The post is really about how we looked at the trade-offs, not about locking in a language choice forever.
For what it’s worth, the team isn’t Java-only either: some of us have spent a lot of time in C or C++ before, and others were already very comfortable with Java. The question here was mostly whether bringing in a new production language made sense at that stage of the project.
