I'm not the person you asked, but I see Rust as making a play in these areas: - embedded systems - games - high performance + high correctness environments Personally, I don't see it as a web-app or line of business app development languages. But it will allow you to create the components that the webapp and LoB apps call into. But I imagine if some people really like Rust for those purposes, they will start building the libraries and code infrastructure to make it easy and away we go.
