Rust is a hard way to make a web API
Rust is an amazing language. It has enabled excellent CLI tools like ripgrep and exa. Companies like Cloudflare are using Rust for their own systems and encouraging people to write Rust to run microservices. Rust makes it possible to write really fast software that’s secure, tiny, and more concise than C++ or C.
If I were writing a geocoder, a routing engine, a real-time messaging platform, a database, or a CLI tool, Rust would be at the top of the list.
But last year, I spent some time trying to make Rust work for a plain-vanilla API to power a normal website. It wasn’t a very good fit.
