These things trade away some runtime efficiency for developer productivity. And for many applications, that's the right trade. That's not really what Rust is about, though. I think .NET will remain a better choice for that kind of application. I just hope .NET gets a good full-AOT solution (including whole-program optimization) for desktop apps, so users don't have to pay excessively for that tradeoff.
