Julia has the most beautiful syntax but a doubtful runtime/toolchain.

Rust has the most beautiful runtime/toolchain but a doubtful syntax.

When you want to use it for the type of number crunching programs that Julia is made for.

Rust is made for making programs that currently C and C++ are used for: every tick counts, close to the metal kind of code (kernels, drivers, hi-perf, soft-realtime, etc). Julia is not even considered in that space.
