I personally like Rust a lot, but it isn't on our radar at all.
Nobody has even mentioned it.
Java and C++ are fine for what we do. What advantages (other than memory safety, which Java has too) do you see in Rust?

No crazy enforced OOP with a gazillion classes and inheritance, no non-sense design patterns just because the language enforces you to use OOP for everything, an amazing type system, no null pointer exceptions, great compiler error messages and so on...
Of course there are problems, like any other language, but it is crazy how it as a systems programming language is so good at expressing domain logic.
Java has a much bigger ecosystem, but judging JUST by the language design, I'd pick Rust over Java without thinking twice.
