Hi everyone,

I've been "funemployed" for a few months and with all that free time and idle hands I wrote a full web framework (think Rails, not Flask) for Rust.

It's boring old MVC, has its own ORM, templates, background jobs, auth, websockets, migrations and more. If you're keen but don't feel like rewriting your app in a different language, Rwf has a WSGI server to run Django (or Flask) inside Rust [1], letting you migrate to Rust at your own pace without disrupting your website.

I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language. Now it has yet another framework for y'all to play with.

Cheers!

These kinds of comments seem to be like a fire starter on this site, but I cannot for the life of me see how they fit in the site guidelines.

(At some point this place has to contend with the issue of “we started as people trying to build cool things and wound up with every thread being nonstop complaints or nitpicking”.)

I think there is a valid claim to be made that web frameworks cost more to learn than they pay off in value in using them.

Mind you, I don't assert that claim. I don't know; I'm not in web development. But I could see how having to learn a new framework that wouldn't pay back the effort would give rise to some valid complaints.
