> Rust is great, but - heretic idea - not literally everything needs to be in Rust. Go try Ruby on Rails for a while! Or - if Rust has whetted your appetite for more functional styles - Phoenix on Elixir!

It's OK! She'll be right.
Who changes their minds about what to do for fun because someone on HN thought it was unnecessary? Doing what some random person wants instead because they want to be “heretical” (because it’s a religion right) sounds like the opposite of fun to me.
But I’ll see you on the next thread about making a Rube Goldberg web server in C++ templates. Or some such very necessary and “approved for prod by HN” thing.
