    “In Rust” man of all the cliche title baits, I hate this one the most.

    Why did you choose Rust? Why does that matter?

    Nothing wrong with Rust. Lots wrong with the bandwagon that “in Rust” somehow adds value.

      Rust matters because it means you can actually deploy it without going insane. I wonder if the anti-Rust zealots have actually ever used pip, especially on Windows.

      He could have said "... not written in Python" - would that have been acceptable?

        There are a few layers of irony here, but see uv.
