Are you actually using Rust for professional web development? I've tried it earlier this year and my experience wasn't that great, so I'm quite surprised to read this comment.

What issues did you have? We haven't had very many issues. We rebuilt some internals tools, but for the most part it's been smooth sailing. We do use hyper and h2.
My main issue was with the ecosystem, which seemed too green and volatile/experimental. IIRC I used Actix and Diesel, for a toy web app.
What did you end up using for Rust? The actix ecosystem is pretty good, and quite fast.
I did like Rust (as a language), but I'm using Elixir, Phoenix and Ecto right now.
