> Rust is a good language but I don't see it any time soon in the web space with that syntax and the lack of mature libraries, plus the time it takes to get anything done.
Lack of mature libraries is always a problem, syntax is subjective and "time it takes go get anything done" .. which time do you measure? Time-to-first-running-example or Time-to-debugged-productions-ready-code? I have my doubts that Rust takes significantly longer for the second one.

Had the same experience. Rust feels slower to develop, but the type system just saves you so much headache in the long run that you're usually much faster at reaching your goal.
Lack of mature libraries is a normal issue for a language that's 3 years old. It will get better with use.
