Wouldn't you just use go/python/node for a simple crud API? fastapi for python is pretty performative if you use gunicorn as your runtime and time to iterate is must faster than it is in rust.
Time to iterate is also only much faster in certain situations, e.g. local development; if you have to e.g. build a container image, push to a registry, and redeploy to a k8s cluster somewhere, those savings become somewhere between less significant and nonexistent.
Can you expand on what you mean here? I know you're not implying Rust is faster to move thru a CICD pipeline, so can you tell me what you do mean? I seem to be unable to make a different reading
If Rust is helping you make prototypes and iterate quickly, I’d love to hear how you’re using the language.
I suspect it has to do with how familiar you are with type systems, and the way that you use them. I find that Rust's constraints help guide me towards a solution more quickly, and I spend less time chasing down strange edge cases. Not eliminate! But reduce.
