From PHP to Rust

Hi,

I am a PHP Developer who has nearly 5 years working experience from small to large PHP web application development. I started from Zend Framework & JQuery UI, then worked with different frameworks like codeigniter, Yii, Laravel and now Phalcon. But on past years I saw many revolutionary changes on web technologies and tools. Twitter Bootstrap, Backbone, Angular, Node.js, NoSQL, HHVM, Hadoop, Spark, Go, React, GraphQL, Rust, Swift and etc. But still I am a PHP developer who is becoming more outdated in IT world. About 2-3 years ago I learned at least some basics of Backbone, Node but couldn't move from PHP to Js in my carrier. Day by day I've become a self hated outdated web developer.

I believed web technologies like HTML5, CSS3 will replace native app development but it was not happened that way. I was finding a new language which I can use not only for web but also for native app development. I don't know why but I don't like Java & Go, didn't had a chance to learn Python. I heard about Rust and from syntax to concepts that is the language I was waiting for. But unfortunately still it is not ready for web.

Again I am trying to move away from PHP. I am learning Rust and blog time to time about my progress. But I really need to make it happen this time and make it faster. Please help me to make my dreams come true, guild me what I want to do if I want to move from PHP to Rust.

Thanks
