I am the author of the updated home page. Although the main content was provided by a previous maintainer of the website.
No one is saying that Rust dev will be as smooth as Django. In fact, there is another paragraph right below:
> While development might not be as smooth as something like Rails or Django, the Rust web development ecosystem and community is engaged and very helpful. A lot of work has been put into the web in the past few years, and we're getting there!
You can replace a Django app with Rust. While you might have to put in extra work to:
> test your application's database access layer
> provide advanced authorization
The main point that the author wanted to make is that Rust is suitable for scale web development. It might not be perfect, but we are getting there, and the ecosystem and community is very large, engaged, and helpful.
- nicoburns 6y agoI would consider removing the reference to Django. Rust frameworks are great and make an excellent alternative to flask/sinatra/express, but they are nowhere close to as full-featured as Django/Rails/Laravel. Those frameworks are a whole other class of thing which I hope the Rust ecosystem will eventually aspire to, but it's not there yet.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoI wish there were a Laravel for Rust. I've tried rocket/actix but laravel's ease to launch an app from cli, and organize code structure, configs, etc... makes life much easier. Go kind of has a few (Buffalo and Beego), waiting for a true MVC framework for rust.
