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!

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a Django-esque web-framework for Rust for a while now, and it would seem I'm not the only one[1].

Also, if you're open to suggestions, use SemVar, and have releases on GH so we get email notifications.

You got it. I will setup a GH action to release to crates.io at the same time.

Cheers!
