I've written a few backend APIs with rust and I have to disagree. Not only have the frameworks managed to get the ergonomics similar to your popular GC lang[0][1], the natural lack of shared mutable state of HTTP handlers means you very rarely have to encounter lifetimes and a lot of the language's advanced features. What's more, now when I go back to work with other languages, I can't help but notice the significant number of unit tests I'd not have had to write in Rust. It doesn't have a Rails and Django but it's an easy pick over anything at the language level. A note on performance, Rust's the only langauge where I haven't had the need to update my unit test harnesses to `TRUNCATE` tables instead of creating/discarding a separate database per test on PostgresSQL. I'll also like to mention the gem that is SQLx[1]. As someone who's neve

r been satisfied with ORMs, type checked SQL queries that auto-populate your custom types is revolutionary. With the error-prone langauge-SQL boundary covered, I was surprised just how good it can get making use of the builtin PostgreSQL features. Almost to the point that amount of effort the community's put to building great tools like Prisma.js and <insert favorite ORM> feel like a fool's errand (at least so for PosgreSQL).
