    Notice how the OP specifically said well-known and widely used. Yes Rust is currently cool, but way way more people can actually work productively with Python.

      Wait… PieFed uses Python? Holy shit… as someone who regularly uses both, Rust is such a better fit for something like this on this scale. That’s actually one of the best arguments I’ve heard against PieFed

      I think for a large project Rust should be easier to manage in the long run.

      I did notice. If Rust isn’t “widely used”, then I’ll need to let Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Mozilla, Huawei, Meta, the Linux kernel devs, and a fuckload of open-source projects know that they actually don’t exist.

      It’s plently widely used, and unlike a scripting language (edit: Python), it’s performant – as server software should be. Rust is not a hard language to use or learn either, and it’s great for large projects.
