@alavi@techhub.social I've mainly used PHP, Javascript/Typescript (front and back) and a bit of Go before going with Rust and I wouldn't go back for anything in the world ^^
Once you're productive in Rust (which takes more time than PHP our Node.js, I won't lie), you can prototype stuff with it pretty fast, and then clean things up after that.

@to@fosstodon.org Does the main strong points of Rust which are runtime computational speed and type safety really provide benefits in large scale web development? Because in web, we usually don't have much processing and the volume of code is very large. What matters more is simplicity, iteration speed and simple, fast concurrency. Does rust really provide a benefit over for example Go or Javascript in that regard? How is it better. thank you for sharing you experience
