And you can't have blazing fast without rust, and a little kvetching about lifetimes

While your broader point is well taken, isn’t Uber a famous Go shop?
Lol I was not being on topic or constructive - just repeating the meme that rust is synonymous with "blazing fast", because of endless statements to the effect of "rust is blazing fast," or "if you want blazing fast code, use rust," or the endless blazing fast rust libraries:

Now I'm not an expert in either rust or go. But I know my deductive meme logic:

1. Uber's solution is not blazing fast

2. They are a Go house

Then the meme implies:

3. Their solution is slow because they did not use rust!

Q.E.M. (Quod Erat Memonstrandum)

i thought it was fun :D
