> I would much rather deal with ownerhip and related issues than deal with dynamic typing fallout. Those two things aren't connected. You can avoid both of them by using one of the many statically typed languages with a GC. It might be the case that Rust has other advantages over those languages that make power-assisted manual memory management a cost worth bearing, but it is still a cost. The amount of successful web backends written in Python/Ruby shows that performance demands on a typical web app are nowhere near high enough to justify doing away with the GC.
