FWIW my last project was in Rust, and the current one is in Python (with which I have more experience), mostly due to Python having some useful libraries for what is mostly an exercise in gluing together different external systems. Despite the fact that I chose to do this in Python, I'm not at all sure I wouldn't have had a working solution faster in a language that had a good type system and a error handling strategy that made errors explicit and forced them to be handled. I'm almost certain that writing in Rust would have ended up with something that was more reliable in the long term. (FTR I imagine that Go may also have been a reasonable choice for this kind of work, but I haven't used it).
