I really like managed languages: GC makes some things much easier, and they often have great debugging tooling. Distributing compiled programs is delightful though. They're easy to package, easy to distribute, and start up is really fast. It's a huge upside.

I like writing web applications in memory managed languages because you shouldn't get pwned by RCE. RCE in Python from *just a number* is scary. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-3177

Achievement unlocked: managed a segfault using only safe Rust code. Only occurs on nightly though.
