I've programmed web stuff in rust and in rails. i can tell you that build times (and REPL on error, and a console with DB connectivity, and lots of pre-existing modules/libs/plugins) do matter. We can get all that stuff in Rust (C/C++/Zig) too, but it is simply not there yet. Only Go is both run time efficient AND compile time efficient. My point: all is possible at unlimited resources, but that's unrealistic.
