    It’s not only the efficiency boost. What about safe concurrency? Or about the tooling - does sbt really compare favorably to cargo? (I’d say “no”, having used both over multiple years)

      Most web applications don’t even need concurrency, what they need is a language that’s easy to read with as little cruft as possible, rust is not that.

      I’m saying the best web language would be one that is as simple as python or js with the type security of an ml language. Rescript comes to mind as well.
