I already use Rust in production for some tasks and love it. I can’t build full server systems yet and the reason for me has nothing to do with the libraries. Coming from erlang I am use to not having nice libraries for things. If Rust is serious about servers and reliability I would like to see Joe Armstrong’s thesis and the mantra “let it fail” be taken seriously as a language concern. Before I will use rust deeper in my organisation I need to be able to sleep easy at night knowing that if some part of my application panics its ok because it was isolated behind simple_on_to_one supervisor or similar mechanism.
