I was just browsing through this code all night. In principle, Htmx is really showing how React or any frontend framework is just not needed for most applications. Htmx simplifies everything.. even component endpoint caching is as simple as just adding a good ol' header. No more "partial rendering" or related complexity needed.
I'm still unconvinced that Rust is a good idea for general web servers due to (overly) aggressive compiler checks and chaotic documentation related to web server concerns (many Rust web related libs cannot work together or not easily).
Today I'm mostly just using Hono+htmx+view transitions. Astro is a similar stack, but with more batteries included (and some additional complexity).
- bomewish 3y agoIsn’t the benefit of rust for backend simply the massive resource efficiency/speed?
- ametrau 3y agoSpeed of what?
- streetcat1 3y agoNot sure what do you mean by aggressive compiler checks. Do you prefer bugs?
