anyway, i can't believe i say this, i think dhh's words on tradeoff between squeezing performance out of an ecosystem and "just throw more hardware on it" is a tradeoff that i can clearly choose.
Also, speed and performance aren’t the only reasons to use Rust. Rust also helps ensure correctness in significant ways, and make stable applications.
i'd rather use haskellin instead of rust if we're talking about "correctness" and "stability", whatever those are.
When those speed bumps are on the main path that you travel every single day, all those little sources of friction add up to a lot of drag. As an industry we've collectively established this nomenclature over the last 2-20+ years, and throwing it away so you can keep the cute rocket analogy reflects some really bad decisions being made.
Hey, at least everything isn't randomly named after Lord of the Rings characters though.
