In some performance-critical tasks Rust is doing much better than Node.js, but I don't see this as a contempt of the JS language or its community. Rust has made certain trade-offs for zero-cost abstractions and no-GC memory management, and this pays off in certain situations. Async in Rust uses a radically different model than JS or golang, but that's not to say the other languages are bad. It's because Rust has different priorities, and needed an async model that works well without a garbage collector.
