I wrote a small service to synch the datetime based on a gps/imu module with an ethernet interface. It needed to be rock solid because it was going to fly in the field (scientific instrument, not avionics). It was faster and easier to write in Rust, despite having no one else with Rust know-how in the company, the rest of the system components in C++/Python, and several months of of c and c++ experience myself. I barely knew rust and yet felt way more confident the program didn't have weird unexpected edge cases, leaks, etc. Not to mention way more ergonomic.
