Web development with Rust, is it ready? Is it even useful?
summary
Asks whether Rust is practical for web work and gives concrete answers: shows Axum and Actix microframework examples, server-side compile‑time templating, WebAssembly UIs with Leptos and Dioxus (hot reload, native renderer), production use for observability, static Docker images as small as ~6–40 MB, and SQL-to-code / compile-time schema checks that catch DB errors early. Demonstrates the borrow checker forcing mutex/Arc patterns for shared state and cites lifetime, immutability and compile-time DB verification as real tradeoffs and benefits.
