I am a ruby developer who tried rust. I don't think its the language thats the issue, its the libraries and tooling. I tried rust with rocket and I spent a week trying to get the rust app to connect to postgres because of having to deal with so many things like connection pools and setting up the ORM. I eventually just gave up and used rails where you just tell it the username and password for your database and you are pretty much good to go.
- go_ruby 7y agoYou actually spent 40+ hours trying to connect to a db with rust? Please tell me that's a gross exageration...
- baroffoos 7y agoIt was a free time project so I probably spent about 4-5 hours spread over a week or two
- steveklabnik 7y agoOuch, that seems like a long time. It is true that Rust isn’t as integrated here. I’d love a rails too. Which ORM did you try?
