Rust is the one ring to rule them all. Embedded? Got it. Huge web app? No problem… straight to wasm.

It’s hard to imagine a problem outside of machine learning (where library support is all that matters) where I’d ever feel a desire to use anything else.

Other languages feel primitive, slow and/or unreliable after using rust for a while.

But the fact is that that is just feelings. Rust is a cool language, as well as a litany of others. It is unique in the low-level PL domain, but at most places managed languages can be used just fine, and I would wager that they are a better fit for regular old CRUD apps.
