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!

Congrats! I have a question: I used to have a job as a Rails developer, and one thing i struggled with was knowing which options/hash keys were possible to pass into various functions, due to the lack of typing. Would it be the case that your framework, based in a type-safe language, would give precise autocompletion of all such options? Or does advanced usage of Rust macros remove some of this ability? Thanks!

Thanks!

Rust macros are typed, so the language server should be able to give good suggestions. They are also optional, and you can always use the code they generate directly. In most cases, it won't be too verbose either.
