>> Currently, my imaginary perfect language

None of us are getting a pony but that's not the point. The point is about selecting the right tool for the job.

For example, I see projects like axum[1] and wonder what people are using it for. In a PHP or Rails or Django stack, this is your nginx / apache layer. It's not business value code, it's the fast plumbing under your stack. What are people adding to the fast underlying plumbing layer that's giving them a competitive advantage? Or is it just cargo culting?

>> If anything, Rust is an asset for large teams of devs

I mean i only asked for an example of a small team performing magic thanks to rust so if there's no examples of that, i can be certain there's no examples of a large team performing magic thanks to rust!

I don't write web services, so it's hard for me to answer about axum, but if I were to speculate, I'd point out that PHP, Ruby and Python have good integrations with tools like Apache and nginx, while AOT compiled languages like C++ and Rust do not. There is CGI/FastCGI, but then you're parsing strings in true Unix fashion. When instead you use a web server library written in the language you use, you get to use a richer interface than functions [byte] -> [byte]. Go is nicer here since it has that in the standard library, but the idea is the same. But again: take that with a grain of salt --- I don't write web services.

Well then, my examples of large teams should be sufficient. :)

Oh, and I've just remembered about this nice project: <https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/>
