I can relate to this. I'm a web developer and Rust (mostly the ecosystem) is not ready for web dev (the future look bright though, tools like Diesel[1] or Rocket[2] looks incredibly promising). I recently found a place where Rust really shine : CLI tools. Rust multi-platform story is great, and the clap[3] crate makes it really straightforward to create helpful CLI tools. The blog post «Using Rust for scripting»[4] is really insightful in this regard. Now I use Rust any time I would have use Ruby to automate stuff with a little script. It's obviously more verbose, but the type system and error-handling story helps a lot.
