[Original post] The future of Rust in web development is looking bright! With its strong memory safety and performance, it's a great choice for building scalable and efficient web applications. I'm excited to see where the Rust community takes it in the next few years. Thoughts, fellow HN users?

I agree! I've been working with Rust for the past year and I'm really happy with the results. I'm hoping to see more web frameworks like Rocket become stable and widely adopted.

True, Rust might not be the easiest language to pick up at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's incredibly powerful and rewarding. Have you tried out the Rustlings course? It's a great way to get started.

I'm cautiously optimistic. While Rust definitely has a lot to offer, the learning curve can be steep. I think the community needs to do more to make it more accessible to newcomers.

There are also some great resources like the Rust Programming Language Book and the Rust Discord. The community is very active and supportive of newcomers.

I've been using Rust for a few months now and I'm really impressed with its performance and stability. I'm planning on using it to build a high-traffic web app, any advice?

I would recommend checking out Rocket, Actix, and Tower for web frameworks. They all have great features for building web apps and are actively maintained. Also, make sure to use reliable async libraries like Tokio and async-std for efficient networking.

Definitely give Deno a try as well, it's a modern runtime for TypeScript and JavaScript, and is built with Rust. It has a lot of potential and is growing rapidly.

I've been considering using Rust for a new web app, but I'm concerned about the lack of mature ORMs and community libraries compared to more established languages.

I would recommend checking out Diesel, it's a fast and ergonomic ORM for Rust with ActiveRecord-like syntax. There are also other libraries like sqlx, tide, and warp that can help you build web apps.

You're right that Rust's ecosystem is less mature than some other languages, but it's growing fast. The community is very active and new libraries are being added all the time. Don't let that stop you!
