Rust-Lang for web development

Hello,
Is Rust-Lang good for web programming? I have seen few web frameworks in this language. Does anyone have experience web programming with Rust-Lang?

Thank you.

I have experience with backend web development with Rust, mostly using the Actix-web framework, but I'm familiar with other web frameworks as well.

It depends on your background / expectations. If you are used to do backend web development where you compose each of the components separately (i.e. session management, authorization, database connections, etc.), then you'll feel at home with current Rust web frameworks.

On the other hand, if you are expecting / used to opinionated web frameworks such as Django or Spring where the framework holds your hand and provides you with all the things you'll need, then you won't find Rust's web frameworks suitable for your needs.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply.
So, Rust-Lang is young in this field and some frameworks like Ruby on Rails or CakePHP are better.

Again, that depends on your expectations and experience with web development.

It really does depend on what you are looking for. Typically a Rust solution will have superior performance, but that may not matter to you. It may also be more reliable or more flexible, giving you more control of details, but again, this may not matter to you. It may also be easier to use, but that is hard to determine, and is mostly a matter of opinion.

Hi,
Thanks again.
Is it possible to implement all the features that Ruby on Rails provides with Rust?
