Not every application or even web application bottlenecks at the network or database level.
- Capricorn2481 2y agoDoesn't really answer the question. Most webapps are this way and people are still surprisingly unaware of this.
- drpossum 2y agoIt is a refutation of the premise which invalidates this particular question as it was posed.
- slowmovintarget 2y ago"Not every" is not the same as "none" and the discussion is about the majority, so I think your refutation is only of the absolute case and not of the original premise. Rust would be overkill for most web applications.
- sn9 2y agoPerformance is one thing but there's also maintenance costs and the cost of servers. Also potential for future scaling.
- drpossum 2y agoLet me put it this way: If I responded to you with "Why should I bother listening to you because you constantly make bad faith arguments" you wouldn't treat the question seriously because (I assume) you do not constantly make bad faith arguments. It's not that there isn't an answer, it's that there is a problem with the framing of the question itself that should be addressed by the person asking it first.
