I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, even if you’re aren’t correct about the law we’re seeing rising costs of cloud computing. We’ve cut our Azure cloud spending almost in half by being more efficient and rewriting core computing elements in performant languages. We’ve gone with C++ because that’s also what we use for our embedded solar plant programming but we did make a few proof of concepts using Rust and liked what we learned. I think we’ll eventually begin to move more or our C/C++ into Rust as Rust matures, but we’re also not in a rush to do so.

But to get back to what you’re talking about here, we recently spoke with Lunar about their transition from a Node backend to a Java backend and then finally to a Go backend and how they can’t imagine building anything without Go going forward. Very interesting considering that the JVM is quite performant itself. I’m not sure we’re going to follow them down the Go rabbit hole, I think we’ll remain on a Node backend for non-performant stuff since it lets us use one language for most things. But I do think your predictions are right.
