Build a cup vs wash a cup blog post

• Analogy: Building a cup (initial development) vs. washing a cup (maintenance)
• Rust represents a well-crafted cup, while Python represents a quickly made, crude cup

1. Optimized for long-term maintenance
2. Compiler catches bugs early:
   • Type errors
   • Syntax errors
   • Concurrency issues
3. Better packaging and deployment
4. Improved energy efficiency
5. Smaller carbon footprint

1. Easier initial development, but potential long-term issues
2. Packaging often an afterthought
3. Slower package performance
4. No compiler to catch certain types of bugs

• Long-term maintenance costs
• Energy efficiency
• Carbon footprint
• Deployment process
• Overall cost (human labor and cloud resources)

When selecting a programming language, consider factors beyond initial ease of use. Languages like Rust may require more upfront effort but can provide significant long-term benefits in terms of maintenance, performance, and reliability.
