Yeah, but those compile times catch bugs everyone misses in your Django app.

People think speed is the only advantage, reducing runtime debugging and providing a more secure, more correct front end, free null pointer issues and free of memory leaks and runtime type errors - rust just has the added bonus of being fast.

You're right some of the tools aren't quite there and if you move a rails-y app over to rust, you have a job ahead of you to assemble some libraries, but it is doable - the point is that you can put rust in production at web scale now.
