Recently I've been writing a good amount of rust, looking for libs to help out, and have been pleasantly surprised at the depth of the Rust standard library at this point!
I started trying to use something like tokio for async stuff, but found that Rust's standard lib threading primitives were already nice and numerous enough to get a lot of work done.
The rust programming language book has a nice little project of building a multithreaded HTTP web server from scratch. Of course you don't necessarily want to do this for everything, but the fact that a lot of the primitives are present and with good abstractions is commendable!
Go's stdlib stuff for web servers is obviously much easier to get rolling though.

- giancarlostoro 4y agoThat's amazing! I have the Rust Book but never finished it all the way through, I'm definitely looking forward to this, I had no idea it takes full advantage of other packages.
- steveklabnik 4y agoIt does not (well, historically it does not, I haven't checked it out in a while) use other packages. You build one yourself with the standard library. It's expressly about learning via a bigger project, not something you'd use in production. That'd be a waste, just use axum, and focus on writing your application, not on building a (very minimal and incomplete) http/1.1 implementation.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoThat's fine, it's the kind of project I've been meaning to do for myself, so wherever it leaves off at... chances are high I'll continue for my own personal learning.
