> First, we knew we wanted to extend Encore to more languages over time, and we'd seen projects like Prisma and Pydantic successfully use a Rust core with bindings into Node.js and Python respectively.

On an unrelated note Prisma decided to rewrite their Rust core in Typescript. https://www.prisma.io/blog/from-rust-to-typescript-a-new-cha...

Because in real life deployments, outside of winning benchmarking charts, a JIT is fast enough, and the burden of multiple languages cake layer isn't worth the trouble.

Thanks for sharing the link.

Prisma didn’t win the benchmark charts either.

Yes, and?

That was the point, delivering business value within a specific set of KPIs makes more sense than winning benchmarks, if the outcome remains the same.

Of what? Doing Rust? Prisma Rust failed to win the benchmarks.

Prisma Typescript also fails to win the benchmarks.

Then don't drive a car. You can walk. The outcome is the same.
