Because of that lineage and syntactical similarity, I'm always surprised it's not more widely adopted by startups that need to extend beyond Node.
I've worked at one YC startup and interviewed with others. C# seems like the natural step after TS. But several were more interested in Go and Rust. Strange to me when C# seems more logical.
As much as I like C#, every time I'm on the job market, I end up taking a job in C#.
Rust's biggest advantage over C# is that it's framework-free. IE, you compile a working executable; nothing more is required.
What's harder to understand is: Will I be more productive using Rust compared to C#? (After dealing with the learning curve.) Will my code be "faster enough" to lower the cost of operations? (IE, a cluster of 5 servers instead of 15?)
