For me, I have a fairly complex application sitting behind a http api. Rust allows me to keep the system requirements for an instance of the app low for better economy. (Memory use especially) I actually like the ergonomics of it a lot and have learned to satisfy the borrow checker. I would use it over Java for almost anything. The biggest downside to me is the long iteration times when making a change, compiling, and testing repeatedly.
