> Rust already has several server frameworks The incredible proliferation of Rust web frameworks should be an almost blinding beacon advertising how well-suited Rust is for web backend development. The biggest takeaway that anyone new to Rust or new to Rust-on-backend should have: Rust absolutely rocks for backend development. It's getting a tremendous amount of attention, people are trying a lot of things, and it's crystalizing as a major backend powerhouse. You can be just as performant in Rust as you can in Go, or frankly, Python, and the result is super typesafe, super ergonomic, and blindingly fast. Google recently published a paper that said as much. Rust already has several Python Flask equivalents (Actix/Axum), and it's waiting on its Rails/Django framework. For anyone scared of Rust or the borrow checker: due to the nature of HTTP services and request flow logic, you almost never bump into it when writing backend Rust. But if you ever need to write anything with multiple hand-rolled threads or worker pools, you can. Rust opens up a lot of interesting possibilities, such as rich in-memory databases. But you certainly don't have to use these powers either if you don't need them.
