While I do get annoyed at JS often, I get just as annoyed by Rust. Sometimes, I really just want to read a CSV and create a Map<String, String> from a few of the columns. But oh my god if Rust doesn't make that a nightmare. Is it a String? an &str? Do I want to allocate that string on the stack? I won't know the size of it at compile time, so of course not... right? So no to 'static? Give me a nice middle of the road like TypeScript, Kotlin, OCaml/Reason... Rust just goes SO FAR in the other direction that I don't find it a pleasant experience. I get that it's the ULTIMATE in performance, I just always question if I really need it for doing web work.
