Thank you for writing software for all of us Python day-jobbers who wish we were writing Rust instead.

API-first or API-only backends are a sweet spot for today's Rust, IMO, and its resource footprint, reduced maintenance long-tail, and performance properties are all super competitive. It's especially hard to find another language that can compete with Rust on all three of those at once.
>reduced maintenance long-tail
I'd like to hear more about that. I'm also curious what makes Rust particularly suited to "API-first" backends. My understanding of the language is that it's concurrency primitives are excellent but difficult to learn and it's gc-less runtime.
Never seen someone put my feeling so succinctly
