I don't mind development being a little slower if it means the software is more stable and performant.
Now, that said, I can't really speak to the fact that Rust is more performant or stable than some other language X, as I don't know enough to make such statements. ๐
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

I'm just saying.
That is a good point... although I wonder how relevant it is with the current number of users of Lemmy.
It could become a future issue if Lemmy / PieFed were to ever take off?
Who could say. Not I. ๐
Python will make it so loads of people can check out the codebase and tinker with it IMO.
It's dead simple, so that's a big plus compared to Rust. Rust has its own benefits, lets see how it all plays out.
