Pitching Rust without mentioning performance

[matthewkmayer]

Most pitches in favor of Rust focus on performance. While that is a great aspect of the language, there's far more to why Rust can be a great choice.

Topics could include:

• error handling (compared to Go's if err != nil and Python's exceptions)
• making certain states unrepresentable - lean on the type system
• cargo vs bundler, go mod, etc...
• ease of deployment - single binary FTW
• isomorphic Rust - on backend and frontend

Out of the Rust game, not gonna get to this.
