Rust certainly wasn't created with web development in mind. But the developers of the language and libraries made it simple and nice enough that its constructs are very close to what you would call a high-level language. I have been using rust for my company's project backend server and even though I don't have all the libs that I need as crates, they are simple enough that I can code them myself. I wouldn't choose any other language, the sheer peace-of-mind Rust and its compiler gives me when my build is successful and my tests pass is hard to give up. Rust is awesome and I expect most of the web dev frameworks to be built in the next 5 years, I hope my company is able to help with that :)
