How much of a productivity boost would you’ve gotten from java or kotlin which provides a lot of those features with all the complexity and build times?

I did a bit of Java and Kotlin for Android development, but never for web APIs so I can't really tell, but one thing I'm sure is that Rust's build system and dependency manager (Cargo) is far more pleasant to use than the experience I had with Java.

Other great things are the ease of packaging with Docker, the low resources usage which helps to keep Heroku's bills small, and the excellent IDE support.
