I have an idea, also replace JS with Rust, don't stop at the tooling.

Kind of interesting how the scripting languages that were all the range in 2010 as replacement for Java, C#, are now being rewritten in Rust, Go, C++, Dart after crumbling in performance issues.

Why are you excluding C# and Java here? There are certainly many rewrites to these languages, but this kind of rewrites are "boring" for the crowds here and don't get the spotlight. IMO building web services with Rust, C++ is a almost always a wrong choice.
Because that isn't what cool kids in JavaScript ecosystem are flocking to, that is their parents languages.

Myself I will keep using C# and Java as long as I can in the middle of all this AI craziness, see my profile.
