We all know Rust web frameworks can't go head to head with Rails or Django; in other words, they're probably not the best fit for typical CRUD applications. But what I wonder is if there's yet a Rust web framework or set of libraries that would be a good fit for the type of stateful real-time web application where Phoenix is such a good fit right now. That is, a framework based on something like the actor model, with fault tolerance and clustering, with WebSocket-based channels built atop those actors, and possibly topped off with a real-time thin-client system like Phoenix LiveView. Those things, plus a statically-typed AOT-compiled language with great runtime efficiency like Rust, would be a killer combination.
