Isn’t there a rust rails clone?
Yeah, it’s called loco
https://loco.rs/ https://loco.rs/
FWIW I prefer the pile of libraries. Big frameworks are good for scrappy startups trying to push their product out asap, but in most of situations, I’d like a lower abstraction system to build on.
- hermanradtke 2y agoRails clones in modern languages don’t get wide adoption. I wrote about why I think that is: https://hermanradtke.com/why-your-rails-like-framework-is-not-widely-used/ https://hermanradtke.com/why-your-rails-like-framework-is-no...

- erlend_sh 2y agoThis needs to be higher up. Loco seems to be exactly what OP is looking for, yet it wasn’t mentioned in the article.
- GolDDranks 2y agoMy first thoughts. Before writing the piece, maybe they should look into what already exists.
- dajonker 2y agoWhat makes Rails (and similar frameworks in other languages) great is the large number of companies using it in production and having many people contribute to it. It therefore is very feature complete and works for a lot of use cases and edge cases. For everything that Rails does not do out of the box, there is a great ecosystem of libraries. Rust has no such framework. There is often just one person pulling the whole project and the number of active contributors is very small. This carries some risks and might mean that you end up having to do a lot of plumbing yourself.
