We use rust for web dev purely for the type safety. Having business logic encoded as a state machine in an enum with compile time checked matches makes the world of difference


Scala, F#, OCaml, Kotlin,...


I have no experience with these languages. But it's worth noting that Rust is somehow more popular than all of these for a reason.

Possibly a combination of type safety + speed in one bucket makes the difference
