"really should be" ?

"in C# or Java" ?

where do you even base these claims? Do you know what C# and Java threads have that Rust doesn't? data races. And don't get me stated on the biggest paradigm failure that is OOP.

Projects I've seen at work. Projects posted on Hacker News. Data races aren't usually an issue for backend services, and modern Java/C# is multi-paradigm.

I beg to differ unless all your logic is in the database with strong isolation guarantees.

Speaking of C# for backends that are using EF actively, I bet there are bugs in pretty much all of them caused by incorrect applications of optimistic concurrency.

Both have a garbage collection though that lead to higher developer productivity than compared to rust's affine types.

> higher developer productivity

Where have you been the past 5 years? Rust developers are insanely productive.

Can we put this myth to rest already? Rust being an "unproductive language" is thoroughly dis-proven.
