Rust web dev-- aggressive? I struggle more with relational data modeling and refactoring my early design decisions than I struggle with Rust for web dev. I am not happy that the futures I painfully walked over hot coals to make work will be easily replaced by async/await but that's on me for not waiting until some undisclosed time in 2019 for async/await to release. If anyone likes to compare apples with oranges and benchmarking web frameworks, actix-web framework (optimised for benchmarking, naturally) is leading in many categories: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17&hw=ph&test=query https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17&hw=... With actix-web, you can run asyncio and sync code in the same server. It lets you take full advantage of Rust's concurrency.

> I am not happy that the futures I painfully walked over hot coals to make work will be easily replaced by async/await Glad I'm not the only one who was struggling with gigantic and confusing error messages that were fixed by trial and error (usually adding a `.map_err(|_| ())`).

  No; async/await produces Futures, which is what actix-web uses. It will use a slightly older futures, but that's why there's a compatibility layer, and I'm sure they'll update fairly quickly after stabilization and so you could just use that version as well.
