So are you saying use Rust, more efficient at the expense of maybe using more memory? Or swift which may save some memory by being dynamically linked but perhaps is a little slower.

Honestly a ton of code is utility code, not run that often and nobody wants to take the time or expense to rewrite that Perl/python/bash script.

Some code efficiency is much more important than others.
