Exactly that. Plus I need to be able to make adjustments here and there without the whole thing collapsing on me.

If you know Rust inside and out (if, as one example in TFA, you co-wrote The Rust Programming Language!) then sure, why not Rust?

But if not, it would be unwise.

That said, I use AI to write small C utilities that compile and run on any Windows version starting with Vista (which neither Go nor Rust can do). Yet I'm not a C programmer; but I can read and adjust it when needed, and the whole thing does work.
