:-) I've been trying to keep the nuance in my comments here. When I said, "I think that if you want to use it for web stuff you very much can," I'd emphasise the, "if you want to."
At the moment a lot of hobbyists are doing web stuff in Rust. Commercially I think usage would be in the same vein as the common pattern of rewriting Ruby services in Go if it starts to limit performance.
- curun1r 9y agoRust is also pretty attractive for use in AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions. It's ability to strictly control memory usage and make the most of CPU resources is really powerful in an environment where you're billed based on memory and CPU time. If you've got a particularly hot lambda function, rewriting it in Rust is a pretty simple way to save a bunch of money.
