If you designed a website from a programming point of view first, you'd never get the idea out in time.
It's not that bad, but modelling data for nosql databases is a bigger challenge than getting decent performance from the code.
There is another issue with using languages like Rust/C++/D and that is: if it crashes you loose all the concurrent requests, perhaps even without a reasonable log trace. What I'd want for handling requests is something less fragile where only the single request that went bad crash out. Pure Python and Java provide this property.
