10 Reasons

Ten reasons to choose Rust+Go+Elixir over Python for your next software startup.

  1. Typing + is good for your carpal tunnel.
  2. When your rust code falls apart, you can write middleware called Bondo.
  3. Writing Elixir will make you a legit wizard that can do real life magic(k).
  4. There was a movie called Go in 1999 that had Timothy Olyphant in it. He's even on the poster (and it's a pretty cool poster).
  5. Imagine all the Hacker News posts you'll write.
  6. Python is just so enterprise anymore.
  7. Whoever writes your precommit hooks is going to make you type everything anyway.
  8. What better time to learn a new stack than when you're gambling with other peoples' money?
  9. C interop seems like a thing that should be in this list. Name munging.
  10. It doesn't matter because your startup will never release anything anyway.
