Future of Rust in the web?

• 0942v8653 12y ago
  Rust strikes me as a language that is much better suited to writing web servers than web applications. It's good for code where high performance is necessary, but too low-level for web apps. No one really writes web apps in C++ anymore either.

    I think Rust may turn out to be surprising there. It seems to have fairly good infrastructure for building higher level, not overly verbose structures on top of the low-level underpinnings, so I think it might end up -- with the right libraries -- being useful for web apps.

  I am working on a web server for a project at school right now and have been pleased to see the tools that exist for Rust already in this space. This site [1] is a good one to look at for existing frameworks that are quite usable. I am taking advantage of Hyper for its parsing and server capabilities.
