&gt; Rust doesn&#x27;t target backend app?<p>This isn&#x27;t the case. We have web backend libraries (servers, database thingies, template engines, I&#x2F;O, etc) and it&#x27;s totally possible to work on backend stuff in Rust. Rust doesn&#x27;t &quot;not target&quot; much, really. Most of what you do in Python&#x2F;Go&#x2F;Ruby is also something we want Rust to work for. There is a false dichotomy of &quot;fast language or safe language&quot; which Rust does away with -- it&#x27;s not <i>only</i> for situations where you would usually use C++.
