Yeah, if you want to learn Rust feel free, it's a great systems language. But I'm struggling to understand how someone who's having problems with ESLint is going to have a great time with the borrow checker.

Rust helps writing secure, stable, high performant, thread-safe code. For most use cases that node is being used for, they don't have a problem that rust solves. Rocket is very cool but unless you need the performance I don't see why you would pay the dev cost to use it over express or asp.net or whatever.

If you want to evangelize rust and create more rustaceans I think you should write more about the things that rust is good at and how it's worked well for you.
