If I couldn&#x27;t find a job writing Scala or OCaml or F# (all of which I&#x27;d consider better options for rest-ish backends) then I&#x27;d look for one writing Rust.<p>As I got more into this kind of language I found that the language tools gave me very strict isolation, which lowered the value of separating everything at the process level. So I&#x27;ve shifted towards a more monolithic style of architecture.
