Part of the reason i didn't just pick PHP also was that I was testing a workflow where I would let claude write the whole thing, while just making sure to validate it externally. My experience with agents writing PHP was less than stellar - there are a lot of sharp edges that humans don't realize. Rust is a lot more reliable when you need to change a bunch of things, cuz it simply won't compile (and helpfully so) until you get it right.
