> Most of us are writing web apps Indeed. I'm a Rust dev somewhere it actually matters (video dev - we have to process 60 frames a second, for hours/days on end, with completely predictable performance, without crashing once) and I'd never pick it if I just wanted to build a webapp where nothing really matters and if the whole thing falls over we can just put it in a retry loop. There's plenty of code out there that /cannot/ be written in Ruby/Python/Go/C#. Rust solves some really hard problems for people working on that type of code. But it's not what most people on HN are working on. I think the problem is that a lot of web developers do not really understand that this type of code exists, and that languages which do not target web development can be exciting.
