What do you think about Rocket ? What's the differences between Actix web and Rocket. I've been interested into rust pretty recently and I didn't really catch the difference even tho Rocket seems much more batteries included, but I guess there is a reason why Actix is much more popular?

@FloWoelki

Ай бұрын

I personally think that Rocket does not have a lot of updates. That's why I think that Actix-Web and Axum are more popular. Axum is also much leaner and simpler than Actix-Web.

Nice! What do you recommend for a Rust newbie to learn first, Actix web or axum? (Or something else?)

@FloWoelki

2 ай бұрын

thanks :) I would recommend learning the language first :D jokes aside, I think it doesn't matter. in the end Actix Web and Axum both perform better than any node or python web server, and that's what matters. I would say, pick based on preference and project constraints.

Please make some more videos on this .😊

So what's the best server side framework that works with HTMX (and Actix of course)?

what is the extension you are using which is saying main is not async at 2:47? thats pretty cool

@FloWoelki

22 күн бұрын

It's not an extension; it's a plugin in nvim that I've used. But generally, you can google for whatever IDE/Editor you use: "show inline errors". That should work.

Hi Flo, Have you already tested axum?

hey there, big fan of Axum as well! especially the integration with tokio. :) what do you think about it?

I'll try my best to come up with some things about actix web. Do you have ideas that you definitely struggle with or want to see?

Is that a vim plugin for the automatic imports and line errors?

Yes! I use `lsp-zero` with some additional configuration.

I’m not sold on the idea that rusts performance benefits on the web platform are actually worth the tradeoffs you have to deal with. It is a fairly difficult language with very long compile times. Sure, you get great performance. But you can get decent performance with Go without having to deal with any of those tradeoffs

stop doing this.. go is great language. but when it comes to milisecond performance benchmark go sucks..

I agree with you all. Go is a wonderful language compared to Rust. However, Rust can also be a wonderful language if you try to master it. Rust is becoming more the language when it comes to building tools. There are a lot of popular tools out there that are based on Rust (quite recently Rolldown in the JavaScript/TypeScript world). Some compilers are also written in Rust, just because of the safety and huge performance of Rust. But I agree, if you do have maybe microservices, Golang is a powerful choice because everyone understands the language almost instantly and can get used to it.

Considering that Rust was designed for a pretty narrow use-case - For building a desktop app (Firefox) that would be placed in the hands of users + abusers, with an emphasis on memory safety through lifetime management. This is a completely different set of challenges to an application that runs on a backend server somewhere. The backend server environment has been refined over many years, and has its own safety considerations that are not the same as a desktop app. They barely overlap even. And yet we see people trying to use Rust now for backend server development ... because "safety". Throwing out decades of real-world tested ways of providing safety on the server, with this desktop-centric "memory safety" thing instead. It's a completely false argument, and wildly counter productive. With the performance angle - the "but performance" argument is also false ... because Rust compromises on performance and resource consumption to provide safety (and the wrong type of safety at that). If you care about "millisecond performance" - then Go is more than good enough. (geez - even Python or Node is more than good enough if milliseconds are your benchmark) Rust is OK if you care about microsecond performance (as is Go / Erlang / Bun etc) If you care about nanosecond performance, then Rust is not even in the ballpark.

If you struggle with Rust - ask chat got for help. I am using version 4 and find it's ability to explain a powerful tool. Rust is totally worth it if you look at benchmarks

how would one deploy a rust backend ?

Depends on your preferences :) But, generally `cargo build --release` puts the resulting binary in the `target/release` directory.

great video! can someone help me with returning everything from the arc as json? #[actix_web::get("/users")] async fn get_users(db: web::Data) -> impl Responder { HttpResponse::Ok().json(WHAT TO DO HERE) }
