I’m still running a site on Hugo 0.18.0 because it works and the effort involved in upgrading is not worth the benefit. And that is the appeal of Hugo. A single binary with no dependencies that still works years later.

Incremental build times in rust are also on par (and often faster) with c++ on the similar sized projects I’ve worked on.

Large C++ projects aren't exactly known for their stellar compile times either. Coming from a C++ background, I don't find Rust compile times to be that bad for comparable sized projects in C++.

Not advocating for or against, but having worked on systems like this, the joins here would happen in the Fetchers. That is, User is the domain object, which could be built from one or more database tables inside the Fetcher.
