  • Think the title is a bit of an over exaggeration. Auxiliary tools being built in lower level and thus faster and more efficient languages isn't anything new.

    Still, happy to see rust has found a place in the ecosystem. I'm a big fan of ruff

  • Alright, I guess I'll check out rust. The article makes it sound like the obvious choice.

    Although i agree with what the creator of esbuild said - go feels more pleasant to work with in my limited experience.

    Although the latter was created by Google, so thats a mark against it
