"Turns out that the language is far less important than having really great libraries. I’ll re-evaluate rust when things like resilience4j and micrometer exist for it." I agree. Ecosystem shapes how good a given language is right now but the language itself is what provides the long-term ceiling. One very real example is JavaScript. You can write all the JavaScript libraries you want and people certainly have ... but ultimately the language is what it is and many of its users still clamor for something better even after immense investment in the ecosystem.
