> Rust really is a great programming language that solves a lot of other problems other languages don't. It does so by introducing a pretty clever paradigm. Rust's "pretty clever paradigm" lifts a large set of low-level concerns into the application domain, and consequently makes them the responsibility of the application programmer. This makes sense for a subset of programming contexts, where the application programmer needs to have and assert specific positions in those domains, in order to produce viable programs. The problem is that, overall, very few programming contexts actually benefit from this level of specificity. An HTTP service implementing a business-level capability absolutely does not give a shit about ownership lifetimes. The fact that Rust "solves" this category of issues is completely irrelevant to this class of program.
