the wild thing is that while there's good reasons to not use one language across your entire software stack from bare metal microcontrollers to web front-end, the one language you can do this with and have it not be an objectively stupid choice is probably rust.

webdev in rust seems insane. anything that doesn't have to be in C/C++/rust shouldn't be in C/C++/rust. Save your life with garbage collection

reference counting is wonderful. Rust is not actually a hard language. There are some things it makes you think about, but if you want to write good code that runs fast and is reliable you should already be thinking about them.

ghc is pretty fast and reliable and it doesn't require you to solve a lifetime puzzle

I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd ever see anyone claim that Haskell is easier to adopt than Rust :berk:

well not to learn, but in the long run it's less tedious
