Hi everyone,
I’m a 17-year-old first-year college student currently working on an AI-powered research assistant project. My idea is to use Rust (with Tantivy) as the backend server and search engine, while handling the AI/ML parts with Python (HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.).

Do you think Rust is a good choice for building the backend and search program in a project like this? Or should I stick to a full Python stack?

I want to balance performance (fast search, indexing) and simplicity (ease of development/deployment) since this is a college-level project but I’d also like it to stand out on my resume.

Any advice or suggestions from experienced Rust developers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
