> That's the only reason I'd ever consider moving away from the ergonomics of something like Node or Python, if my bare metal server can save me money by simply handling more requests with less cpu/memory. … but what does the "bare metal server" have to do with it? Presumably, Occam's Razor would suggest that a Rust framework that outperforms Go on a VM would likely continue to outperform it on a bare metal. The bare metal machine might outperform a VM, but these are most two orthogonal, unrelated axes: bare metal vs. VM, or a Rust framework vs. a Go or Node framework…
