Sounds like it's got a bit of development to go before the language is suitable for this use case, but I must admit I'm quite excited about it.

Having recently been experimenting with Go and Rust in the same sort of space, my impression is that Go is a bit too verbose and lacking in features - definitely works and lots of people like that, but I don't find it particularly powerful. Rust is great, but I've found that web backends end up with too much code - and it's still quite a challenging language to use, though that may be my inexperience. Building iOS apps in Swift recently, I've really started to get enjoy using the language. Once the various issues are worked out, I'm optimistic about its suitability for things like that - and it's great to have more language options to play with!
