It's a bit early for Rust to be widely applicable to web development, because common web backend frameworks require nightly Rust which is not appropriate for production. But most of these nightly dependencies are being resolved.

That's no longer the case. There are many web frameworks working on stable, and Rocket, which was one of the most popular nightly-only backends, has been building on stable for nearly a year now!

With the caveat that you have to use _nightly_ Rocket straight from GitHub (but still stable Rust, which is definitely preferable).

They're working on it but they don't have an actual released version that works on stable Rust. So you'd end up having to pick stable Rust or stable framework, which is not great.
