I've been cruising on rust too, not just because it works great for LLMs but also the great interop:
- I can build SPAs with typescript and offload expensive operations to a rust implementation that targets wasm
- I can build a multi-platform bundled app with Tauri that uses TS for the frontend, rust for the main parts of the backend, and it can load a python sidecar for anything I need python for (ML stuff mainly)
- Haven't dived too much into games but bevy seems promising for making performant games without the overhead of using one of the big engines (first-class ECS is a big plus too)
It ended up solving the problem of wanting to use the best parts of all of these different languages without being stuck with the worst parts.
