Not in the world. The options depend on a use case. For a website C++ and rust would be far down on the list. For a web server, even, there is a plenty of competition.

Similarly for an embedded scripting language or rapid prototyping.

I'd argue that safety is vital for web software, so Rust is a candidate for "the best language" for web servers. The same is true for security libraries.

Or how about the original purpose of Rust, to rewrite a rendering engine? That's an incredibly widely used platform.

There's an OS being written in Rust that a lot of people are really excited about. There are very few languages other than C/C++ that are actually viable for rewriting an OS and would, in and of themselves, prevent entire classes of bugs.

This thread is about WebAssembly. For that, those are your only options currently.
