I use Rust for web 1 year already and I can say it's awesome. Try.

  But on the backend, not on the client, I presume? If you've really been deploying Rust over the wire via asm.js, then some commendations are in order for your persistence. :P

    Yes, of course. But in parallel I write code in TypeScript (frontend) and after few months performance is equivalent in both languages. Only difference - no runtime errors in Rust.

      Are you joking ? You can have hot module replacement in TypeScript meaning you don't even have to refresh the page to get new code in browser - and then you can fire up the REPL and prototype stuff - Rust has to go trough rebuild+redeploy on every iteration - you're saying that's the same speed ?

        No. I don't use hot module replacement and I don't like this idea. And I don't prototype things often - maybe once or 2 per year - my contracts are usually long enough. It's all personal, as you see. I'm saying that to implement feature in Rust takes same time as in Typescript or PHP (as PHP is a server side language also and comparison is more illustrative).
