Great job on the project! I've been wanting to try Rust for a while now.

I like how you used the Actix web framework for handling web requests, John. It's performant and easy to use.

Thanks, Alice! I chose Actix because it fit my needs well for this project. As for the ORM, I opted to not use one and instead wrote raw SQL queries. I found that it gave me more control over my queries and better performance.

I understand the appeal of writing raw SQL, John. I personally prefer using an ORM for easier query management and to save time. But overall, I appreciate your contribution to the Rust community.

I agree with Alice, John. Your contribution to the Rust community is much appreciated. We need more of this kind of content!

Really interesting to see the use of Rust in building a full-stack app. Keep up the good work!

I agree, Paul. I'm also curious to know more about the database layer and how you handled the ORM.

Interesting choice, John. Did you consider using Diesel or another Rust ORM to save time?
john_doe 5 months ago next
Yes, I did consider using Diesel, but for this project, it didn't meet my needs as well as writing raw queries did. Thank you for your kind words!
