I'm not complaining about Rust. It's a very good language.

I'm complaining about everybody on programming forums, including HN, seeing Rust as the replacement for most, if not all languages. My opinion is that Rust's ideal problem space is much narrower than people think.

Bingo, it's a true systems language. That said, the fact that people can and do write web applications(for practical reasons) with it kind of says something about it's breadth.

The whole point of system languages is that they reach the whole stack.

True, yet what you see around HN and other places are people trying to use it for web development.

Front end or back end? I see nothing wrong with rust on the back end, not sure how it would even work on the front

WebAssembly.
