You’ve presented two extremes here. With no indication of timescale either.

For example, starter projects in general should lean towards option 2 for obvious reasons. But as they grow, naturally you’re going to become distributed. You’re right that very few companies need hundreds of infinite scale, but many companies need “2” scale right?

Also, Rust is a fairly new language. The majority of companies out there are on slower languages. Are you asking them to fire all the Python people and bring in Rust developers to rewrite everything?

The issue is so complex and nuanced that discussing it without context and detail seems pointless. To be honest if anyone holds any of the above opinions in real life I’m probably just going to smile and nod and move on.
