I get that Rust is the new hotness, but I feel like they really address different segments, even post AI.
C# tooling for HTTP and gRPC web services is really, really good and very competitive performance wise. The large set of base class libraries and first party libraries that continuously get patched is a win, too.

Why?
I'm C# Dev that'd want to learn Rust at some point and such guide makes it very helpful

Do you need to learn Rust to use it at this point?
I think the tooling matters more than the language at this point.

idk, rust is really good for web services. it depends on your taste obviously but i prefer it to C#.

Would love more specifics because I think this is an area where C# shines especially with hot reload. Even better if you wire it with CSharpRepl (no rebuild at all).

And here I was hoping for Rust support in Visual Studio.
