Rust does have a lot of potential, but don't underestimate how much change it has undergone lately, and will likely be undergoing in the future. The large amount and rapidity of change makes it difficult to use it seriously. It's nowhere near as stable as other newer languages like Go and Scala are, for instance. Some experimental programs I wrote a mere 8 months ago are now basically unusable with recent versions of Rust due to language, syntax and standard library changes. Unless you can constantly track Rust's development on a daily basis, and update your code accordingly, I'd be very hesitant to suggest using it for anything but throw-away code at this point.
