I'm happily using the ZeroMQ bindings to serve an HTTP and WebSocket service w/ Mongrel2 servicing requests and Rust providing the handlers. Not a pure Rust stack, but it does a very admirable job serving responses for such a young language.

(I also love have fallen in love w/ how mongrel2 handles websockets. I find it fits very well w/ Rust's message passing between tasks.)

So it's not like writing a webservice in Rust is completely impossible. I will admit that "we aren't web yet," but I'm glad to see the community working on it.

That's the exact path I've taken in another language (Nimrod).

Mongrel2 is a really good way to have all the nitty-gritty of http handled while you worry exclusively about two ZeroMQ sockets (from and to Mongrel2). It makes it a whole lot easier and safer.
