Java is a better fit for high level code, and you can already use Rust where performance matters.
I've put a lot of time into learning Rust and I still reach for Java for high level stuff. GC is just wonderful for developer productivity. Lifetimes are way better than C but still a PITA.
Especially when you mix with threading, you end up using Reference Counting anyways which is just shitty GC.
