I suspect we have a similar take.
Regarding web dev: I do not use Rust for this. This is not due to anything inherent in the language: It's due to the current ecosystem. I'm optimistic this will change.
A: There's nothing on the level of Django or Rails (I'm watching Loco though); there are many Flask-analogs. If I'm making a website, I want built-in automatic migrations, templates, auth, security, admin, email etc.
B: The web ecosystem ha gone mostly into Async, which is not my cup of tea.
Overall, rust if my favorite language in many domains for holistic reasons: Top-tier built-in tools, no speed limits, easy to make distributable programs, capable of running on embedded, predictable rules about mutability, nice structs and enums etc.
