Or it could be insane to pay the cloud memory costs when you have tools that can write rust for you.

What "cloud memory costs"? Most Rust code is an informally-specified version of the old Python reference-counting GC. That's how you're supposed to write it, with clone() everywhere, and then dropping down to optimize. You can do the same thing with Go in the other direction by writing an allocator.

People believe a lot of weird things about these languages.
