> The performance difference between a Rust server and other languages are incredible, especially in terms of RAM usage and concurrent connections per second. Really depends on what "other languages" are here. If you're comparing against Python then sure, but if you're comparing against Go then the difference isn't that incredible. > That said, if your program is going to need tons of entities stored in a database, I wouldn't even consider a language or framework without a solid ORM. This is actually what I used Rust for recently and honestly the ORM situation is pretty good. The language itself is just too rigid for this kind of work for too little payoff. > If your startup doesn't know what it's building, you have bigger problems than the language you choose. That's true at a high-level, but iterating on small features/changes fast is what makes or breaks most startups.
