Personal opinion: Rust seems as bizarre choice as C/C++ would be for web apps, regardless whether it's for the frontend or backend - I'd personally much prefer to use a higher-level language like C#, F#, Go, Scala or Kotlin.
- k__ 6y agoWell, Rust is higher level than C, but not nearly as heavy as the others you mentioned.
- StreamBright 6y agoF# turned out to be a great option for us, we combine it with Elm and they work very well together.
- Nelkins 6y agoIf you feel comfortable, consider making a PR to this repo of companies using F#: https://github.com/Kavignon/fsharp-companies https://github.com/Kavignon/fsharp-companies . Always good to have another success story!
- pjmlp 6y agoActually that is how we were writing web apps in 2000, with Apache and IIS plugins written in C and C++ plus some scripting language like Tcl, but I wouldn't do it today, besides providing Web UI for IoT devices.
- GordonS 6y agoI was there :) I have memories of writing CGI apps, and it's not something I'd relish a return to.
