This is how most devs feel about any language they don't already use. There are even HNers who regularly brag about having never taken Javascript, one of the most ubiquitous languages, seriously enough to build a nontrivial project or to appreciate its upsides.

So it's not as damning as you seem to suggest.

For web dev, the ecosystem isn't quite there yet. I've written a few utilities and toy APIs, but don't feel like the web ecosystem is was rich as it needs to be for a serious project. Actix comes close. A few others like Warp ND Gotham are interesting. I'm waiting for rocket to compile in stable, and pick up async.

But yes, rust is definitely pretty cool, and I'm annoyed that I finally "understand" the language on my nth attempt at learning it, and still haven't found a good use case for it.
