Apologies if this question isn’t really appropriate for this community, but Rust and Kotlin are my two favorite programming languages, and currently, I use both for different projects. However, I’m curious as to if people here think Kotlin still has a place when Rust exists? I’m specifically speaking architecturally: disregarding existing legacy code or support, do you think in the future, the Rust platform should replace the Kotlin platforms (JVM, LLVM Native, Android, Web) for everything Kotlin can do, or do you think Kotlin can do some things better than Rust?

    Anything with Garbage Collector is a bad choice for servers.

    Anyone who used ElasticSearch (JVM) on medium to big deployments knows why GC is not the best idea on highly available servers.
