Yes, it's a solid one for that. And the stdlib is complete without being too much, It's managing memory through ownership/borrowing + a strong type system, it's a very secure language. The Tor Project event did a rewrite of Tor itself in Rust (https://tpo [.] pages [.] torproject [.] net/core/arti/)
Rust is the best decision you can make if you want to work on the server side. The language is compact and robust, and unlike many other programming languages, it prevents null pointer exceptions.
If you're considering learning it, I wouldn't recommend it, as I find it to be quite complex. There are other languages, like PHP, that are much easier to learn and can accomplish everything you need.
