Rust is nice, it tries to solve certain kinds of memory bugs

But it introduce even bigger issues; slow build times

Being able to iterate SUPER QUICK is very important, you want to be able to test and see results as fast as possible, so you get to fix bugs or implement feature with ease

Imagine you get to work on super import product that needs super low latency and close to 0 downtime

You notice a bug, you have to deploy a fix ASAP

If your language makes you test/deploy the issue in hours, then it's very bad

Most development bugs in other languages are issues of type mismatch (in dynamic languages) or memory issues, both of which aren't a problem in Rust. You don't need to iterate as fast.

I do need to
