Rust is finding itself everywhere. It's fantastic on the server. It's shaping up to be fantastic for UI.

It's fast, ergonomic, and the code has fewer defects than code written in other languages. (Google did a study on this.)

It's not as unapproachable as the memes make it seem. It's no harder or less productive than Java or Golang to write. (Google also did a study on this.)

The Rust WASM deploy story is sublime and is going to help it take over the world.

WASM Components levels the playing field across all languages.

You can mix and match a C# Blazor component and a Rust component, and a Python component and they all compile to WASM and runs at equal speed.

Those other languages will have a GC.

sounds like someone hasn’t actually tried or benchmarked this :)
Is this satire? I have difficulty identifying those.
I only hope that it is, but you never know.
