I love the Rust language and tooling, but don't use it for web dev because it lacks something like Django. I build web backends in Python because of Django. Not exclusively because of admin, but that's part of it. (Other parts include built in DB auto migrations, auth, email, templates, [de]serialization, tightly-integrated ORM etc)
I can't figure out the intended workflow for using the Rust frameworks. When I ask (eg rust webdev communities) how to build a website using them, I get no responses, or comments about how Diesel is better than Django's ORM.
It seems more doable with Flask etc in Python because of the robust ecosystem of third-party addons, but it still seems like a complexity trap due to potential mutual incompatibilities between them.
The admin page in particular is excellent for debugging, changing config, quick queries etc.
