Agreed. When a VC backed company is in hyper-growth, and barely has resources to scale up their shaky MVP tech stack so they can support 100+ million users, I doubt anyone thinks its reasonable to give the engineers 6 months to stop and learn Rust just to rewrite already working systems.

Adding Rust into your build pipeline also takes planning and very careful upfront design decisions. `cargo build` works great from your command line, but you can't just throw that into any pre-existing build system and expect it to just work.
