You can learn to use Rust in Go-like settings in under a week.

You can have your first Actix[1]/Sqlx website up in a day, and you can have it doing some non-trivial work -- including sharing state between threads -- by Friday if you start today.

Rust's type system alone is a compelling enough reason to try this. Cargo a close second.

I'm willing to bet a lot of people start using Rust for backend web development. It's quite pleasant.
