That's been my feeling exactly, and why I was delighted that Rust didn't have HTTP support yet.
That follows through to many other aspects of e.g. web frameworks; there's a lot there where string typing is used. When rust-http is stable enough, I'll be getting on to my dream framework which will be astonishingly safe and bamboozlingly quick (to start and to run, if not quite to compile), incorporating and extending various ideas at present only present in Haskell frameworks and a couple of other similar language-frameworks (e.g. Ur/Web). It'll be fun!
I've been mostly a Python developer hitherto, but I'd never have tried something like this in Python—it simply wouldn't work. You need a type system like Rust's before it can work, but then it really works.
