I often advocate for the use of Rust, but it's not the right tool for every job. If one of these conditions is met, I'll happily use Rust:

  - Cannot have garbage collection
  - Need the raw speed of C
  - Need to provide a C interface
  - Already have a lot of Rust code in the project

Having said that, I very much prefer statically typed languages, and ones with a focus on correctness and safety. Rust and Haskell both fit that bill very well.
