I really don't think the world is going to be saved by building your crud apps in rust instead of python. Consider instead what could be done if the company that is able to grow twice as fast has a charity matching program? Or, i don't know, imagine we tried to fix something that actually would cause a dent, like not encouraging everyone to buy new smartphones and laptops every year, not allowing international shipping to externalize the costs of burning "lowest imaginable quality" diesel, etc. This comment feels like saying "Turn off your LED lights when you go to bed!" while your neighbors are literally burning tires in their backyards.

> I really don't think the world is going to be saved by building your crud apps in rust instead of python. If that is all we are doing to "save the environment", then surely not. On the other hand, if we are going towards a wall with 200km/h and only "lightly break" (so not pushing the break really hard), then we will still crash, maybe with 100km/h, still deadly. What I want to say: No, it (being more resource-friendly) is not the one solution, but it's part of a greater solution.
