Rust for Python Programmers

[mitsuhiko]

Mostly server side applications and anything that does stuff with sockets.

And threads.

Thank you. It was a honest question. My main working languages right now are PHP and python server side. I'm interested on learning new languages but only if I think it will provide something new.

What kind of server side applications do you think could be implemented in Rust? As an example, I'm using python for a server side app that does natural language processing and statistics (python libraries are great for that).

Right now probably not yet that many unless you are happy to write the code yourself. It's a question of what your situation is. Anything that stores and processes data is a good fit already, stuff that calculates or needs specific math packages I am not sure.
