Startups are about cost, time to market, and a high level of efficiency to deliver on a promises ( product ) to sell or get to market. A language selection should consider two things, talent pool and maturity of the tools.
When you go hire developers, I want a strong pool to be able to be selective in finding attitude with the right aptitude, and I want them to be productive ASAP, so that means that we might bring in GNU protects that we are extending, tooling from other sources and high level knowledge of the code… this is where maturity comes in, not the language that matters, it’s the package you get on the product you are developing.
I love rust, it will get there, but in a startup environment, it could end up been “not the best fit” all things considered.
