You mean expedite whole chunks of logic to a different language, then make your build process much more complicated by having to maintain a completely new ecosystem and compiler infrastructure and make testing more cumbersome?

Sorry, but this is just a bad advice.



In the very very rare case you might need it, than I guess, yeah.

But if it turns out to be a real problem, it might still be possible that they will add a way to disable checks with the foreign memory API. It would actually allow for a better user experience, you could do “debug” builds with extensive checking for correctness, which could be disabled via some flag.


You forgot that the deployment also got more complicated.
