That is pretty neat. The whole cargo ecosystem is one of Rust's biggest strengths.

Thing is, once you get comfortable with it you won't want to use assemblies from other languages because you'll inherit null, exceptions, and non-idiomatic syntax.

But I'd push for it if I thought I could get other people from the team on-board.

Looks nice indeed, I was currently using Java with RxJava mainly to see how it works in a clean project. It's very tempting to do it also in rust with this.
