What? Rust is a low-level compiled language. Its equivalent competitors are C++, C#, Java. Not PHP, nor Python, nor (gods aid us) NodeJS.
It's bait, Hippo, bait.

Fuck no. Websites should be actual websites. Not small domain-specific terminal programs implemented in JavaScript.
Yeah, I understand HTML is shit and still doesn't support client-side includes which makes properly caching static content difficult but still.

This is like saying "don't take cooking advice from a professional chef."
I love you homie but your hostility is misplaced. Of course there are mediocre web devs who never grow throughout their career, but that's the same for all fields of development (see YandereDev). And of course there are web devs who are constantly striving to improve their craft but at the same time aren't instantly jumping over to whatever frameworks are popular this week. I'd consider myself one of those.
Maybe web dev looks so simple that anyone can do it, but there is a lot of specialized knowledge here. Minimizing database queries and making the ones you do write performant, request and response HTTP headers, DOMDocument and Xpath, response and image compression, cookies and sessions, secure secret storage, regex. I wouldn't expect a game or systems developer to know much about this stuff the same way I don't know much about 3D graphics acceleration or processor opcodes.
Of course an experienced web developer - a good one, one that really cares about their job - is going to be better at writing web sites than any other sort of developer.

Regular expressions are fundamental CS knowledge and most web devs don't even understand them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12131909

Low effort post happen even with stickers, tho. I don't think there would be much of a difference.

Sun, what is this evil, be gone you pasty potato faced Brit. No wonder you need a compact language because you are running it on a machine with a processor with all the power of a three legged mouse on wheel. I may have bad memories of terrible Sun sparcbooks that were inflicted upon me by the Army.

>Java for webdev
Do people really? I mean I’ve heard that Spring is a pretty popular web framework, but I’ve also heard everyone and their mother say that Java is old and archaic and uses up way too much memory, to the point where even PHP is more efficient.

What the Hell are you gibbering about? How is what I described a "small domain-specific terminal program implemented in JavaScript?" Re-read my post and try to understand it this time. Not tightly coupling your back end and your front end does not make something "not an actual website".
And how is it difficult to cache static content? This is basic. Typically you can just leave it to the browser. Use etags or HTTP headers however you please. Most modern frameworks will handle changes to static assets implicitly just through the process of compiling the application. And yes, I know the fact that compile is used in this context will trigger some people. I'm happy about that. HTML is a mark-up language - it's in the name. It's not meant to have "client side includes" and include things that are outside the domain (unless included by CORS).
Everything I have said in this post is basic web knowledge and if you have to Google one fucking term or don't already know it, you are not qualified to be debating web development as you aren't even at the starting line long before you get into more intricate topics.

Guess what platform most commonly requires you to just restart it sometimes for no reason? Tomcat/Glassfish. Giant bloatware eating all the RAM on the server before it just OOMs or just becomes nonresponsive forever.

Because it's literally what you do. You transfer raw data to the client side, on which JS code (i.e. a program) takes that data and decides how to display it and also takes the user input and serialize it into data to send back. That's a terminal in my book.
You can loosely couple your backend and frontend all on your server side. The only good reason to separate it out onto server and client side is because it allows you to be smarter with the caching of the static and dynamic parts. But that should be a native feature of your browser (i.e. client-side includes), instead of having every site execute their own code on your browser to implement it. Which is an insanity that only web devs think is okay.

I'll be sure to wave before I pull the lever, cumskins.
he's worse than a nigger, and may jersh forgive me for uttering this word - a britbong.
kind of yes, some applications use spring also some people will tell you that java only uses too much memory if i's handled by a bad programmer. i had a javafag teacher and he parroted that shit every damn time.

Most developers think that the infinite memory/storage Turing machine from their CS classes is a thing and write their bloated, oversized code to match.
