I think Rust is a good fit for webdev, if you have programmers who already know or actively want to learn Rust, and if you don't need libraries not available for Rust. Admittedly those are some big caveats, but better latency and throughput are never bad things. The lack of GC is not actually a problem once you have internalized the rules of the borrow checker. The only big problem I see with Rust that makes it a bad fit for webdev is the young ecosystem. The compile times are not great, but I don't think that's a significant issue when writing APIs.
