I think "web development" is too generic to say something like that.

I'd consider a small data processing service, maybe a service invoked from the web server you're already using in Ruby or whatever, is a perfectly pleasant place to use Rust, and often likely to be 1:1 identical to those other languages.

Video URLs always pointing to the same content is a critical guarantee for a service like Youtube.

No, the alternative here would be to just let the write()'s throw and let upstream handle them. You don't try/catch to catch an error just to re-throw it for the same reason you don't try/catch every single line of your program.

Exceptions are one reason other languages don't need this "if err throw err" code, without making a comment on if either is superior.

That's just your empty entitlement of "he should share his toys with me more" under the guise of "F/OSS" and, uh, being a "good citizen" or something.

You're a horrible citizen of the fantasy world where you give me things for free. That's some Kennedy inaugural address shit right there.

Writing negative comments/tweets is a helluva lot easier than staking skin in the game.

They do it for NPM deps too.
