For distributed computing I also don't see a point using Rust versus the productivity of having a tracing GC strong typed languages with AOT/JIT toolchains.

Most of those languages also have ways to stack allocate and off GC heap allocation, it is a matter of learning how to use those features, when and if it actually matters.

99% of the time it won't matter.

Rust is great replacement for the kind of low level stuff like the C++ layer of Android, UWP composition engine, game engine graphics rendering and similar.

I don't understand either. I mean, it is fun and all, but for a serious project, why bother?
