Web frameworks convert strings to business logic, web apps deal only in business logic. Fortunately the web framework is only written once to support multiple web apps.

That sounds nice, but practically a lot of web app development can't be perfectly modeled by a type system. There's a lot of string munging and bashing, because at the end of the day we deal with messy human inputs, and the required bookkeeping makes that tedious and inexpressive in Rust.
