I don’t know about that. I already knew a little Rust last month when I wanted to write a REST API server that would benefit from being deployable as a single executable. I probably spent a grand total of 2-3 hours researching which framework to use (actix-web for me), reading the code, and implementing the endpoints I needed. The end result ended up looking an awful lot like a Python Flask app. The actual code writing part of the project wasn’t any more complicated than using any other language might’ve been.
Learning Rust and learning web service programming at the same time would have a steep curve. If you already know the basics of Rust and have written web services before, writing a new one in Rust needn’t be stressful.
