"Yes, I've probably heard of your obscure fast-as-C language that has a great web stack... to a first approximation, nobody else has."

It's less obscure than Rust and among web developers less than Go as well. How is it obscure, really?

That's nonsense. Scala is pretty well known. (Apache Spark, Play Framework, Spray, Akka, Scalding, Kafka, etc...)
As for the web stack: Play, Scalatra, Spray, etc... It can also use the fairly mature Java libs as well: Jersey, Jetty, etc...
On the other hand, I don't know of any popular projects that are written in Rust, other than what Mozilla is doing with Servo.
I can name companies as well: Twitter, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Gilt, Foursquare, The Guardian, etc...
Github still probably runs mostly on Ruby as well, and for performance, you could use JRuby.

Scala is far from obscure
