I'd like to use it, but I need a solution which allows to use the same language on client and server.

Wait for a few months and that will start to become viable, though it probably won’t be reasonable for two or three years.

Rust 1.14, released a couple of days ago, introduced experimental support for WASM/asm.js backends. There are experiments like https://github.com/tcr/rust-todomvc which show off the possibilities. At the moment it produces a rather massive blob (over 1MB as JavaScript, not sure as WASM), but that will improve, and for some situations that doesn’t matter so much anyway.

But why would you want the same language on client and server?
