I have to agree on this. I was surprised to see that a majority of the Rust community actually comes from some web-development domains. Especially when comparing Ruby, a highly flexible dynamic language, to Rust a language full of constraints (for its own valid reasons).

Note that the a hype train is a two-edged sword, it will both bring a strong community and might also induce a cliff with the other communities (praising a single god is never a good thing).
