With Rust, it's quite the opposite. Developing web applications with Rust is a similar experience one might expect from dynamic languages such as Ruby or Python, due to its high-level abstractions.

Web applications developed in dynamic languages can only get you so far though. A lot of developers find to what, as their code base reaches about a 100,000 lines of code, they start seeing the brittle nature of dynamic languages.
