Rust is great but it's still frontier territory right now. The documentation for the standard library is very sparse and stuff like HTTP is still in very early stages. I would only adopt it for production work if you're willing to be very actively involved in the nascent Rust community, follow the mailing lists, fix bugs yourself, etc. On the other hand, if that's the kind of thing that excites you, Rust is a really great option right now.
