I looove Rust for the backend.

I've supported backends in typescript, python, Java, and Rust.

Rust pages me the least at night. Sleep is beautiful.

I agree with you. Rust is rock-solid. I had zero crashes with Rust. But, having said that, I so-far have zero crashes with Node.js as well. Maybe because I'm a one man team, and I'm very pedantic, so everything is wrapped in try/catch, schema validations, and strict typescript/eslint rules.

I would agree with you that *by default*, Rust makes it harder to write bad/bug prone code compared to others, but with discipline (which big teams in "fast moving environments" usually don't have), you can get similar assurances with Node/Typescript.
