Rust seems like an excellent choice for performance sensitive parts of your web application, especially client side. Right now asm.js / WASM do not contain a garbage collector, so most other choices would involve shipping up a large run time with your app. Unity can get away with that -- you probably can't.
Server side you have many more good choices, but Rust does have a nice FFI story in both directions.
Whether you want to write your entire app in Rust is a different question. I'd want to get more experience with Rust before answering that question -- writing a performance sensitive portion in Rust first would go a long way to answering that question.
