    I mean, for myself personally if it were written in NodeJS or Python or something I’d be less interested.

    And I don’t even care about Rust. It’s just that everything and their sister is written in NodeJS and Python. I say this as someone who founded a company that uses Python.

    Also the more I hear about actual Rust adoption the more willing I am to consider it for the next big thing.

      if it were written in NodeJS or Python or something I’d be less interested.

      Does it matter if it’s running in Docker and the container is lightweight (say less than 50MB), though? I like apps being written in a language I know well so I can contribute if needed, but other than that, I mostly treat a Docker image as a black box.

        That’d be awesome. Unfortunately most of my experience (and I realize that is my experience) has so many packages dependencies that 50MB is impossible.

        Don’t get me wrong, I am proficient in JS/TS so being able to work handily in NodeJS is great, less context switching, but I feel like so many companies I contract for just jam a square peg into a round hole because - and it just makes things painful.

          Yeah it’s definitely not possible to reach 50MB with a Node.js Docker image, but <150MB should be doable with a distroless base image + compiling the app into one JS file (for example, using Parcel or esbuild).

          It’s possible to reach ~50-60MB Docker image with a C# app. Rust and Go definitely produce more compact binaries though.
