>> it’s about high performance computing.

Yes. That's what I said. So, advocating for Rust in a non-high-perf requirement project makes for extra effort/optimization where it is not needed. Speed of dev, correctness, ease of maintenance are needed though. Optimizing for the sexy rather than the needed is a textbook machismo attitude. Good for CV-builders and for ego maybe but it usually hurts the company and the maintainers down the road.



Yea agree, if your looking at it to just understand what writing a CLI in Rust is like, there are a lot of use cases in which a CLI can benefit from performance, but this isn't one of them and he doesn't call that out.
