I'm a big proponent of rust, but I doubt rust will displace nodejs & python for web applications.

Web applications generally care much more about developer onboarding and productivity than performance. And for good reason - nodejs behind nginx is fast enough for the bottom 99% of websites. Rust is much harder to learn, and even once you've learned it, its more difficult to implement the same program in rust than it is in javascript. Especially if that program relies heavily on callbacks or async/await. For all the hype, I don't see rust taking off amongst application developers.

Its a great language for infrastructure & libraries though. This bug almost certainly wouldn't have existed in rust.
