>I agree, I don't understand why so many people lately seem to want to use Rust for web domain stuff.

Mostly because of performance. Looking at latest Techempower benchmark, stuff written in Rust is 50% faster than stuff written in C# or Java. [0]

If that difference in performance and the tradeoffs to obtain it are worth, that's for everybody to decide.

Those benchmarks are highly gamed. Don't trust them. Stuff like hardcoded response length ... Also, they use http and DB pipelining, which hardly reflects most real world usecases.

Have a look here:
