Exactly. I wouldn't write a kernel or shared library in Crystal and I wouldn't write a webapp in Rust.

- floatboth 8y ago> wouldn't write a webapp in Rust https://rocket.rs https://rocket.rs looks nice ;)
- RX14 8y agoWhat other people subject themselves to is none of my business :) And there is need for HTTP frameworks in Rust, for example embedded stuff often hosts HTTP servers. However, just like C we frameworks, it's my opinion they're not for the average use case.
- wtetzner 8y agoYes, and I can see HTTP frameworks in Rust useful for turning high-performance libraries into web services that can be used by other applications.
- RX14 8y agoYeah, that makes a lot of sense too. For example a database might want to provide a REST api for management, which would make sense to write in rust if the DB was written in rust.
- ModernMech 8y agoHave you looked into iron/hyper? I’ve used them extensively and find them great and fast as hell.
