So... Scala, then?

  "Yes, I've probably heard of your obscure fast-as-C language that has a great web stack... to a first approximation, nobody else has."

    It's less obscure than Rust and among web developers less than Go as well. How is it obscure, really? http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=scala%2C+rust%2C+Clojure%2C+haskell&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=scala%2C+rust%2C+Clojure%2...

    Scala is far from obscure
  • kevinsf90 12y ago
    That's nonsense. Scala is pretty well known. (Apache Spark, Play Framework, Spray, Akka, Scalding, Kafka, etc...) As for the web stack: Play, Scalatra, Spray, etc... It can also use the fairly mature Java libs as well: Jersey, Jetty, etc... On the other hand, I don't know of any popular projects that are written in Rust, other than what Mozilla is doing with Servo. I can name companies as well: Twitter, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Gilt, Foursquare, The Guardian, etc... Github still probably runs mostly on Ruby as well, and for performance, you could use JRuby.
