What are your thoughts on this? Have things changed? Is the assumption just dead wrong, and Rust is in fact tremendous for web application development?
I've been excited to try Rust for some time now, but I've been holding off, only because I'm primarily developing web applications and I've heard from a few people that Rust is better suited for other tasks (based on the built-ins, packages, etc.?), despite there being at least a few frameworks out there.

Edit: According to Steve Klabnik in his comment below, it is not up-to-date.

If not for Rust, would you write your app in C++ or Python/Ruby/JS?
Add JS to that list as well, because I've done a little bit of work in Node, but that was before Coroutines (back in the days of yore when "callback hell" was a thing), so I wasn't nearly as excited at the time as I probably would be now.

I have a deamon running that does a specific reverse proxy thing. I wrote it in Rust, and that has been a very pleasant experience. For example, the excellent support for serialization and deserialization makes working with JSON a breeze :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Run rustup.sh again, and it will Just Work. (If not, that's a bug.) If you want to have multiple versions installed at the same time, https://github.com/brson/multirust is super cool. Generally speaking, installation is something we're working on: working with Linux package maintainers, rolling rustup and multirust together and making them work well cross-platform, etc.
Any plans to offer official Rust Docker images? Or is this it? https://hub.docker.com/r/jimmycuadra/rust/

Here's a random fact that I've always found interesting: https://crates.io/ uses Rust on the server. It links to libgit, it does a lot of stuff. It uses about 30 megs of memory, resident, at all times. Coming from Rails, that's... shocking.
