I'm considering C++ for an NLP related project. Normally I use Java/Scala, but the memory usage when you have to store a lot of strings, is pretty high. (The Stanford NLP library recommends at least 3-4Gb of Ram) I'm considering C++ for the lower memory requirements, but obviously the syntax, etc aren't ideal. Do you have any opinion on how Rust would perform in that scenario?

I'm not mega familliar with NLP as a field, but abandoning Java means you abandon Weka, right? While Rust the language might be good for this, there's basically zero libraries, so you'll be doing all that work from scratch.
