I've been porting some JSON/HTTP API servers from Go to Rust recently, and it's been a really nice experience. Rust has convenient struct serialization just like Go, and Hyper is coming along as a nice (relatively) low-level HTTP library. If you want a higher abstraction HTTP server, go with Iron that builds on Hyper. The I/O libraries have more work to be done (mostly for the async story), but they're ok for now and the plans I can see look promising. I see a bright future for those of us who like to write robust and high performing API servers, so don't shy away from Rust in that domain! EDIT: Forgot to say that everyone's very friendly in #rust-webdev where Hyper/Iron authors and others can be found.
