alt Hacker NewsMain factors were (roughly in order):
- None of us are experts in Rust, and we're all solid at Python.
- Rust felt like an under-correction for what we wanted (get all friction in front of the LLM out of the way).
- Our high-performance stuff is not being migrated at this time (Scarf Gateway), so we're just talking about basic CRUD backends here. Basically any language will work.

Python has so many footguns for server work and the world's worst typing system. It sounds like Golang is perfect for your use-case

you don't need to be, you can learn Rust or whatever way-better-than Python language as you use it with an LLM! it's an amazing process.
You might not like Microsoft but they did a video on why they re-wrote the last version of the Typescript compiler in Go. Basically, because of LLMs. It's worth viewing even if you don't decide to go with Go.
