Man, I wish I had more experience with Rust. This looks really nice!

Any chance you guys have a blog or something, talking about the experience of using Rust as a backend language?

Not yet (we're working on it)! But it has been an absolute joy to work with rust so far. We haven't had a single crash in production since we started using it and the zero-cost, high level abstractions allow you to write nice, safe APIs with very little code. All that while providing stellar performance and still being able to write low level code when necessary. The ecosystem is still growing and sometimes you have to put in a little more work to get certain functionality that is well supported in other languages because the library/crate for that does not exist yet or is in an early stage of development. Rust also has an amazing community.

We are long-time sponsors of rustfest, so If you are in europe this could be a good opportunity to get to know some of the team members and ask questions.
