Feel like everyone’s been telling me it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’m just a hobbyist with like a single big project I’m maintaining but I’m starting to hate the code and idk maybe I should rewrite it in rust. Idk

    There is a reason a lot of web apps run on the JVM - while it does have high overhead, once your app is running it is fast and you get some nice advantages. Plus Java has a large system of helpers and libraries. Even though you can do everything in Rust, you will end up writing a lot more code just because in Java you can just download a library to do something while Rust forces you to write it.
