For those of you using Rust for web development, WASM or not, why did you decide on Rust over something like Go? I assume you wanted a static/compiled language compared to say Python. But I would be interested in why not using a scripted language as well.

How hard has it been to do web development in Rust? What has been your biggest problems slowing you down? What has made using Rust better? Do you find time to get to MVP/Production much slower than in other languages like Go, Python, or JavaScript?

It might be interesting to also hear from those that have tried stacks built around Elixir/Erlang as well.
