I think Rust is a little hard to find contributors, and is also just hard in general. Too low level.
I would opt for a language like Kotlin, Go or TypeScript. Easier than Rust, more popular than, or similar to Rust popularity.
JS, Python and ruby might also be very easy and popular, but they’re a little too loosey for me for a large project.
If I were to do it today, I would choose Scala purely out of interest. Such a cool language. But it’s probably less practical and popular than the choices I named above

I’d argue the opposite - Rust is the perfect fit for the entire stack. We don’t even need JS with libraries like Yew
What does yew do?
You can write fronted in it without using JS, thanks to WASM.
I agree. Rust has advantages, but none of them outweighs the negatives (complexity, difficult to find devs) for this particular use case.
I also agree that JVM would be a good platform. It’s both performant enough and simple/conventional enough.
The thing with sum types, async support, trait system, is low level?
