Is Rust web yet? 6 years ago

I've done some researching for Rust jobs in several European countries. It's basically everywhere well below 1% of all dev job offers.

Is Rust web yet? 6 years ago

Rust has been "web ready" for some time. C++ is "web ready", too.

But why should one choose Rust when there're plenty of alternatives with much larger and much more stable ecosystems. And those alternatives offer much higher productivity and a much larger talent pool.

Rust is not even the fastest web framework (https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/) . And the benefit over Java, C# or Go is really negligible. Who needs more than 300000 req/s and can't afford servers to scale?

So, another nice try from the Rust evangelists, but no thanks.
