I am a Rust fanboy but using it to start a startup hmm unless it’s for a specific use case. No. Why? Because the biggest bill you will have to pay at first in a startup and for a long time won’t be AWS but all the (devs) salaries. And compare to what you will pay to AWS that’s a lot of money. So a gain in performance won’t matter as much as in your success (and survivability) than speed in developing new feature every week. Depending what you do but it’s usually the case that performance won’t matter until mid late game. I saw a startup at +300M valuation still not having to worry about performance for a long time. And a cut in the AWS bill thanks to using a more performant language like Rust won’t make that much a difference compare to how much they had to pay devs. So you just want a language where you can ship features fast. Also the hiring pool is still very small.
