Static linking i.e. having one single binary to drop onto a server, and most likely lower memory consumption(more concurrent users served by a single box). These two could probably be added to a list of reasons.
- bschwindHN 11y agoThat is a huge reason I'm interested in Rust for backend web programming. I love the ease of use NPM provides when it comes to installing dependencies. Installing libraries is definitely a pain point in something like a C++ project. Cargo is like NPM but the end result is a native executable. And if you have a lot of users, Rust can help lower your monthly bill by requiring fewer resources. The safer memory guarantees from the compiler is a great bonus on top of all that.
