If this list was specifically created for web development you should have said it from the start... Giving a lower score to a language because it can't run on a browser does not seem objective or unbiased.

Also:

1. Rust has immutability support out of the box...? Unless you declare a variable as mutable everything is immutable by default.

2. Rust does not have garbage collection because it does not need it. In Rust every reference is tracked by the compiler so it knows exactly which data structures are to be kept or discarded at any given time. As the developer you don't have to worry about memory implementation (or lack thereof) and just abide to the compiler restrictions.

This judgement feels really rushed and misinformed...
