... then however, how do you feel about tech debt with Rust? My feeling was that go, rust and such left a lighter burden on the future than say ruby.

Do you think you will need a major rewrite soon?

To me, the language agnostic answer to reducing tech debt is having a good test suite so refactoring is easier. We're pretty good on that front.

We have definitely done large refactors before, and I'm sure we'll have more in the future, but I don't think we need a major rewrite or anything like that.

As long as you know what you are doing Ruby won't leave you with more technical debt than Go or Rust.

How many people know how to effectively program in languages like Ruby is another question altogether...
