Yah, thinking about optimized hotspots here 🌟

Our hope is that the dev flow with Deno is significantly faster than rust, in terms of satisfying the compiler's requirements and (we think) actually waiting for compilation to finish. Rust compilation is very slow, especially in release mode.

Perhaps there's a nice use case for quickly writing a bunch of typescript and then swapping out rust in targeted sections. At least in theory.

The wasm support in Deno prevents this from feeling like a snobbish hack!
