Some may say that .NET/Java are for application-level programs, and Rust is a systems level language. However, I like the idea of Rust as a general cross-platform solution for both systems, web, and applications, so I am interested if whether this is a valid approach to the use of Rust.

I also think that Linux adds nuance to this question because I think that Linux package developers are more likely to choose Rust over .NET than Windows developers are.

Any thoughts on systems vs. app as well as cross-platform appreciated.
